Last night a new version of qpopper for squeeze appeared in my aptitude display and I downloaded and installed it. The only change that I could see was that the authentication settings have been changed. I'm looking at what was done in order to better understand how Debian/Gnu/Linux works. The new /etc/pam.d/qpopper contains:
#%PAM-1.0 # /etc/pam.d/qpopper - specify the PAM behaviour of qpopper # # We fall back to the system default in /etc/pam.d/common-* @include common-auth @include common-account # We don't use password or session modules at all # @include common-password # @include common-session For my situation, bypassing authentication is absolutely the best choice, but I am curious as to how these lines achieve that goal. I look at the man page for pam.d and find an explanation of the format of this file. BUT... there is no mention of a service type '@include'. 'include' is explained, but not '@include'.
