		<description><![CDATA[Well it sounds simple doesn&#8217;t it? Cisco says you reload the OS, you make a couple changes and voila, you have a working Pix 515 running the latest and greatest code (which by the way is the same code those ASA&#8217;s run which cost quite a bit more).

Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) is a mechanism for authenticating users. Specifically, weâ€™re going to use the pam_time module to control timed access for users to services.]]></description>

This guide is for Windows Server 2003 or earlier, it will NOT work in Server 2008.  The reason this won't work in Server 2008 is that Microsoft has removed the ability for Microsoft Clustering Service (MSCS).  This will work in all other versions of Windows Server that have MSCS.]]></description>
