I must have missed a memo somewhere...I JUST discovered that OS X now
supports PAM! Yay!!

That would be excellent.
Do you have any references for that?

I do not have specific documentation, but notice the entry for
pam_securityserver.so in /etc/pam.d/login (etc). I believe this is what
puts the directoryservices modules (wrong terminology, but you know what

It is included as one of the projects used by Panther. You can see what other open source projects are integrated by Apple at http://www.apple.com/opensource/

The link for PAM from there will point you to http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/ for more information.

Hope this helps.
