Hi all

I am in the process of building LFS/BLFS 7.8 and noticed that BLFS shadow
with pam (Chapter 4) is missing the installation of

/etc/pam.d/other
/etc/pam.d/system-password
/etc/pam.d/system-account
/etc/pam.d/system-auth
/etc/pam.d/system-session

While pam already provides an other, the system-* stuff seems not being
installed anywhere, but is still referenced from

/etc/pam.d/login

that are installed in shadow with pam.


As far as I understand, this will lead to an unusable system?

The installation of these files is still present in BLFS 7.7:

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/7.7/postlfs/shadow.html

It is gone in:

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/7.8/postlfs/shadow.html

Look in http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/7.8/postlfs/linux-pam.html

We moved those files because they go with pam, not shadow. Other packages use them even if you don't reinstall shadow.
