Hi devs/users, |
2 |
|

We've just released a much anticipated upgrade to sys-libs/pam |
4 |
and sys-apps/shadow. The new versions are now standard for |
5 |
all profiles. Older versions have been masked out. |
6 |
|
7 |
This gives us pam_stack.so, /etc/pam.d/system-auth and various |
8 |
other new pam modules. In addition we now make use of cracklib |
9 |
for system password security. Existing packages providing an |
10 |
/etc/pam.d file should be updated to make use of pam_stack.so |
11 |
gradually. Vice versa any new package providing a pam.d/ file |
12 |
should try to make use of pam_stack'ed system-auth where at |
13 |
all possible. This greatly simplifies pam configuration. |
14 |
|
15 |
Please remember to update your /etc/pam.d files if you have |
16 |
config file protection enabled. (you should!) |
17 |
|
18 |
If you have passwd problems after installing, please reboot. |
