[opensuse-factory] add pam_faillock for factory, 42.2, SLES 12 SP2
I'd consider adding it as an update, too, to 42.1 and SP1, at least in aux repositories - preferably to updates :-). I've spoken with the author of pam_faillock and I believe it to be superior to pam_tally2, particularly concerning handling of screensaver handling. pam_faillock is part of the recommended RHEL configuration for secured computers and holding out for pam_tally2 also presents a nasty non-uniformity for nearly the same functionality (although, weaker). I've asked the author, Tomas Mraz, to make the patch available standalone - which he has provided here: http://people.redhat.com/tmraz/pam_faillock/ I would've have submitted my branch against factory pam incorporating the patch - but unfortunately I seem to be having some automake/libtool issues in the build that I cannot figure out - so I'm going to have to leave that effort to someone who knows those build tools better than I. I also intend to poke upstream to ask them to reconsider adding that patch into master. -Jason -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
