Now, would you like /sbin/halt to also show a "Are you really really
sure (Abort/Ignore/Retry/Fail)?" dialog a few times and then count to
10 (so we could press ^C) before doing "telinit 0"?
If the sysadmin wants his users to go through this: yes, that's exactly
what I want. If he wants his users not to have to do anything, pam can
acomplish that, too.
And, of course,
to "Require:" pam, newt, dialog, ncurses, libgtk, qt, kdelibs (for
gnome & kde front-ends, resp., that someone may or may not want to
install on their box), and xlibs?
This is a non-issue. pam and many essential pam-enabled apps are already
part of the default install.
