My approach would be to disable it by default. However from the prior
discussion I concluded that the preferred way in Buildroot is to
enable something by default as new feature appears. So I am trying a
reasonable compromise: to make PAM enabled in busybox, but to provide
a fast way to disable it if anything goes wrong.

What would you suggest: to drop "if unsure..." or to make PAM disabled
by default in busybox?

Thanks.
