Hi, The Debian package that I'm trying to create is libpam-ssh-agent http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=595817
I need it to rsync files that belong to root between two systems as a normal unprivileged user, without specifying password (the root account is locked on both of systems, details at http://superuser.com/questions/605425/rsync-root-files-between-systems- without-specifying-password). I've successfully built a package, the building and installation was fine. The problem is that when people use Debian packages, they tend to assume that the package will work out of the box, whereas this pam-ssh- agent-auth PAM module need a bit of post-install configuration before it can be used, which I found at http://www.evans.io/posts/ssh-agent-for-sudo-authentication/ I.e., it need to configure 3 system files, /etc/sudoers, /etc/pam.d/sudo, and /etc/ssh/sudo_authorized_keys. I've trying to automate the configuration as much as possible and have created patch files for /etc/sudoers, and /etc/pam.d/sudo: etc/sudoers: http://paste.debian.net/12646/ /etc/pam.d/sudo: http://paste.debian.net/12647/ However, that's pretty much all that I know/can do. I don't know what's the Debian policy regarding altering system files, i.e., is it OK to use my patch files, and if yes, how to automate it in Debian package post- install configuration. Please help. details are appreciated. Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
