Package: linuxconf Version: 1.26r4-2 Severity: normal

It only needs >to reference the basename (eg. "pam_unix.so"). This will ensure that the >program continues to work even if the module location changes, since >libpam itself will resolve the location. 2. it uses pam_pwdb.so instead of pam_unix.so: >Under no circumstances should any program in Debian use the pam_pwdb.so >module by default. Instead the pam_unix.so module should be used. Most >programs with RedHat support/default files will reference pam_pwdb.so in >their example files. Do not use this. There are several problems with >regard to pam_pwdb.so: >... -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux jophur 2.4.18-k7 #1 Sun Apr 14 13:19:11 EST 2002 i686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Versions of packages linuxconf depends on: ii libc6 2.2.5-14.3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb3 3.2.9-17 Berkeley v3 Database Libraries [ru ii libgd1 1.8.4-20 GD Graphics Library ii libncurses5 5.2.20020112a-8 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpam0g 0.72-35 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpng2 1.0.12-6 PNG library - runtime ii libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 1:2.95.4-11 The GNU stdc++ library ii libxml1 1:1.8.17-2 GNOME XML library ii logrotate 3.6.5-1 Log rotation utility ii netbase 4.07 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii python2.1 2.1.3-10 An interactive object-oriented scr ii sysvinit 2.84-3 System-V like init. ii xlibs 4.2.1-0pre1v1 X Window System client libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.1.4-4 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information
