Feature changed by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) Feature #310739, revision 8 Title: Explain how to "disable" pam-config, if manual pam configuration is in place openSUSE-11.4: Rejected by Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) reject date: 2011-03-29 14:07:59 reject reason: too late Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Michael Calmer (mcalmer) Product Manager: (Novell) Project Manager: (Novell) Engineering Manager: (Novell) Developer: (Novell) Documentation Editor: (Novell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: pam-config write the files /etc/pam.d/common-***-pc. If a user want to use its own configuration, he has to remove the symlink from /etc/pam. d/common-*** to the -pc files and create the common-*** file with his configuration to prevent pam-config from removing his configuration. But this is nowhere explained. It should be added to the pam-config manpage Additionally we should think about a way to prevent overwriting manual changes to the service files, if --service is used.
