 |

I did a world update that updated pam. etc-update shows configuration updates but I'm relectant to change anything without knowing the ramifications. I've googled a lot about pam, but I still don't understand the particular changes.

Tony0945 ...
this file is not part of pam, but xdm. All the changes do is change the file used for xdm logins, this file, system-local-login, in turn calls system-login which serves mostly the same purpose as the xdm file being modified, eg:
/etc/pam.d/system-login
| Code: | | auth required pam_nologin.so |
As you can see this is equivilent to the definition in the xdm file being updated. So, I don't see any harm in this, its just the logic of which file is setting these requirements that is being changed.
best ... khay |
