Saw that there's already a PR for this issue, although right now its in a suspended mode. I am a recent user of GNATS. I prefer using GNATS than Bugzilla, etc., because its using the file system to store its data, and is relatively easier to install and administor. Seems to me that adding an option for PAM authentication, instead of storing user passwords in 'gnatsd.access' will further simplify the adminstration of Gnatsd. I've previously worked with another person who added PAM to CVS, so would be interesting to apply the same principles here. Will start working on a design, so please let me know of any relevant pointers.
