This dangerous eventuality can be avoided entirely by using the method |

The shadow package now provides /bin/login too. The block was put in |
| 24 |
place because (a) pam-login is deprecated (b) it doesn't make sense to |
| 25 |
have two packages providing overlapping files (indeed, the collision |
| 26 |
protection feature would not allow for it under normal circumstances). |
| 27 |
The gory details are provided in one of the developer's blogs (also |
| 28 |
mentioned in my previous post). |
