If you mean shadow-4.1.5-r1 and pambase-20120417, read the previous |
| 21 |
pambase/shadow warning thread from 3 days ago, or bug #412721, or you |
| 22 |
can read it on phajdan.jr's blog |

Anyway, if you upgrade glibc, you must recompile pam |
| 27 |
afterwards manually (sorry it wasn't clear if you recompiled pam after |
| 28 |
glibc upgrade) since it uses dlopen() which isn't catched by |
| 29 |
revdep-rebuild. Safest is to recompile the toolchain, then system, then |
| 30 |
world, but that could take a long time. |
