Hi all,

Linux-PAM installs the following libraries into the /lib directory:
libpam, libpamc and libpam_misc. Both static and dynamic libs are
installed.

The instructions move the .a libs to /usr/lib and create .so symlinks
to the /lib/libname.so.0.78 files in /usr/lib as well.

What I'm curious about is why the .so symlinks are created as there
are already these .so symlinks in /lib. Typically, the .so symlinks
in /lib are removed and appropriate symlinks in /usr/lib are then
made.

However, with Linux-PAM we end up so .so symlinks in both /lib and
/usr/lib.

Should the /lib .so symlinks be removed?

If not, do we need to create these same symlinks in /usr/lib?
