Seems like pam_console modules is broken. I'm not able to make it compile both |
2 |
as a standalone ebuild i'm trying to write and as the complete pam with |
3 |
+pam_console flag. |

Anyway I was wondering what pam_console is used for, at the end. It's a way to |
6 |
set up permissions when someone logins at a console. I would never use |
7 |
something like that on a remote server, as anyone which could have a local |
8 |
login can do anything· It also doesn't make sense on a recent user system |
9 |
configured properly, as devfs/udev would take care of permissions, and users |
10 |
needs only to set the group correctly (simpler than using pam_console |
11 |
anyway). |

|
13 |
Seems to me like a workaround for old old (too old!) systems, which is no more |
14 |
needed at least for us. |
15 |
|

I know this is there also for compatibility, but this makes sys-libs/pam |
17 |
ebuild very bloated as for now, and still I don't know a reason to have it |
18 |
there. |

Some comments about it? |
