It is true YaST writes "" for LASTLOG_ENAB, but why is not LASTLOG_ENAB defined in installed /etc/login.defs before?
8 years ago it was decided (I think the request did come from somebody from the security team, but my notes don't go back so far anymore) that LASTLOG_ENAB is a bad idea since it was only used by /bin/login and nothing else, and that we should use pam_lastlog.so instead, so that all tools can use it. The old tools ignored syntax errors, the new tools now aborts, that's why it did not show up earlier. But in any case, YaST should never add new variables to config files, especially not with an empty value, except the user/sysadmin explicit enables this option somewhere ... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
