Quick question - Pam update created a new config file as rpmnew [root@atlantis ~]# diff -u /etc/pam.d/system-auth /etc/pam.d/system-auth.rpmnew --- /etc/pam.d/system-auth 2007-02-06 14:58:31.000000000 -0800 +++ /etc/pam.d/system-auth.rpmnew 2007-05-30 02:34:27.000000000 -0700 @@ -2,16 +2,13 @@ # This file is auto-generated. # User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run. auth required pam_env.so -auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass -auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 500 quiet +auth sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass nullok auth required pam_deny.so account required pam_unix.so -account sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid < 500 quiet -account required pam_permit.so -password requisite pam_cracklib.so try_first_pass retry=3 -password sufficient pam_unix.so md5 shadow nullok try_first_pass use_authtok +password required pam_cracklib.so try_first_pass retry=3 +password sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass use_authtok nullok md5 shadow password required pam_deny.so session optional pam_keyinit.so revoke -=- To my knowledge - I've not fuddled with that file. Is there any reason anyone can think of not to cat the new file on top of the old? I'm not a pam guru and I'm not sure I understand the changes or if they are critical. It's a laptop (thinkpad) used as an every day end user machine.
