https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=274191 Summary: pam misses requires on pam-modules Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 4 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: mc@novell.com ReportedBy: rguenther@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: lnussel@novell.com, aj@novell.com The default pam configuration installed by the pam package requires the pam_unix2 module which is provided by pam-modules. But there is no requires on pam-modules from pam, so installing pam and its dependencies does not result in a working system. The proposed solutions are - either add a requires to pam-modules from pam (which requires splitting off libpam to avoid a cyclic dependency) - or make the default pam config use pam_rootok only and handle our default configuration via pam-config (Ludwig suggested this) -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

That's my proposal. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

In our products we will handle the dependencies via patterns. When somebody wants an absolute minimal installation a requires of pam-modules in pam would be contraproductive. Such an installation should be able to change the installed common-* include files to something it needs. pam-config will be adapted to support also plain pam_unix. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
