dovecot - Sep 2007 - pam session=yes with gssapi authentication

hi there

I noticed the following behaviour with auth backend pam and "args 
session=yes *" configuration:

- login with "plain": pam session gets opend
- login with "gssapi" (kerberos): pam session isn't opend (->
no $HOME
will be created)

Is this a bug or just a limitation by GSSAPI  (maybe gssapi works around 
PAM)?

- Thomas

Dovecot Versions seen this:
- 1.0.rc15 (Debian 4.0 Etch)
- 1.0.0 (Debian backports)

If you use gssapi mechanism, it doesn't do anything with PAM. So you'd
need to put the $HOME creation elsewhere..
