Hi,
The sudo page in BLFS says:
"If you've built Sudo with PAM support, issue the following command..."
Sudo builds perfectly without pam.
Earlier, I thought to reply to this, but always came up with too long or
too short replis, and gave up.
I've tested a few combinations of LFS new builds, either with Linux-PAM
or without Linux-PAM installed, installing sudo later.
sudo's ./configure effectively takes care of disabling --with-pam in a
LFS system when no Linux-PAM is installed, regardless you included the
switch or it was taken by default.
I agree that the wording on the page is
misleading. Maybe something like:
"If PAM is installed on the system, sudo is built with PAM support. In that
case, issue the following command."
Note that the command may as well be issued without PAM support. It just
creates a file, which is not used.
I like this form. Please, if you don't mind, do it.
I've found a rare case, in LFS with Linux-PAM installed but libraries
manually uninstalled, where sudo's ./configure complains and stops the
build, explicitly asking you for a --without-pam switch to be added.
So if you ever need "sudo without PAM" in a LFS system "with Linux-PAM"
installed, you should explicitly add --without-pam switch.
I think I got the complete picture now. Thank you!
ALZ.
