I do not have access to the ticket system at the present time. Please reopen the ticket as it appears to be a legitimate issue with BLFS. Note that in my opinion it is not a matter to be sent upstream as the Fcron devs already know that PAM is the default. It is our job to adapt to what the upstream devs feel is best. But perhaps I don't know the whole scope of the issue. Is there not a flag we can pass on the ./configure line that can suppress PAM installation if it is not installed? If not, then a patch upstream to add that flag would probably be accepted, however filing it as a "bug" upstream would probably just be closed. The devs must expect that PAM is installed (RH, for example). That is their prerogative. I am strictly going on memory from when the ticket was originally entered by Robert. I very well could be wrong. It sounded as if our instructions don't account for the fact that PAM may not be installed and is looked for by default. If that *is* the case, then we need to address it. I will try to gain some access to the ticket system, and enter info there. Sorry for my lack of participation and effort...Times are busy right now. -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
