Description

debathena-pam-config needs to be updated to work on Intrepid, as outlined in my email from August:

Subject: Major PAM configuration changes in intrepid
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 05:47:18 -0400

I’m guessing the rest of you are too lame to run intrepid, but just so you have advance warning, they completely redid their PAM configuration today in a much more package-friendly way. There’s a new pam-auth-update(8) utility that manages /etc/pam.d/common-* by using package-supplied configuration snippets in /usr/share/pam-configs. Here’s an example from /usr/share/pam-configs/ldap:

Name: LDAP Authentication
Default: yes
Priority: 128
Auth-Type: Primary
Auth-Initial:
	[success=end default=ignore]	pam_ldap.so
Auth-Final:
	[success=end default=ignore]	pam_ldap.so use_first_pass
Account-Type: Primary
Account-Final:
	[success=end default=ignore]	pam_ldap.so
Password-Type: Primary
Password-Initial:
	[success=end user_unknown=ignore default=die]	pam_ldap.so
Password-Final:
	[success=end user_unknown=ignore default=die]	pam_ldap.so use_authtok try_first_pass
Session-Type: Additional
Session-Final:
	optional			pam_ldap.so

Some information is available at:

With intrepid scheduled for release in about two months, it would be a very good idea for someone to play with this new framework and come up with a plan for updating debathena-pam-config (and maybe even splitting it somewhat, now that this seems possible).
