Nothing is impossible and someone may wish to integrate his/her wordpress' login credentials with the computer(s) he/she manage. I recognize it's a stupid example. However: logind, systemd, the MadnessKit family of Kits, break configurations because of byzantine and heterogenous types of login (rfid, TPM, fingerprints, ...), masses of sec data different than "a key for a service" and multi-user access to programs (thirty years of X server and you can run X as root XOR use systemd). Or so it seems. But do any of you find useful to have PAM? Do any of you need single-sign-on, TPM, smart-cards that unlock ttys, integrate kerberos with linux, or the like? _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
