I would like to try to help with this, in order to make LightDM work on my beloved Slackware. Of course it's not going to be an easy task, in particular as I'm not too expert with authentication stuff, but I think I can give it a try.

Although, I need some help. I have tried to remove all PAM dependencies and I got something that compiles, but now I get the following error:

** (lightdm:24295): WARNING **: Failed to get list of logind seats: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.login1 was not provided by any .service files

I guess that this is related to logind, part of systemd, which is not available on Slackware. Since I am no systemd expert, what should this dependency be replaced with? I mean: what's the pre-systemd way of doing what logind does?

Thanks for any help :).
