Ok, I modified the file as you show below. Did you notice that there was a file named other.dpkg-dist that had the following in it? Not sure if this is important or not. auth required pam_unix.so account required pam_unix.so password required pam_unix.so session required pam_unix.so
What should I do after this? I am afraid to reboot and not be able to log in ever again... I have attacked the output from dpkg -l | grep libpam Thanks again, Doug Ben Collins wrote: > On Sat, Oct 23, 1999 at 08:51:47AM -0700, Doug Thistlethwaite wrote: > > Ok Ben, here they are. > > > > One other thing to note: During the install I had a message with > > "modutils" stating > > that The form: > > Patch[fs]=/lib/modules/2.2.10 was replaced with the form: > > Patch[fs]=/lib/modules/2.2.10/fs > > > > I could not find where to change thi.
