Hi Thomas,

The new PAM rule allows a user to execute remote API commands when the uses is a member of group root or xapi ( if uncommented ). This is expected behavior when the user is logged in on a terminal but when authenticating via the HTTP API (connecting via XenCenter) this PAM rule allows anyone to login and execute commands as root without a password
