Hi all
When re-building pam version 1.5.1, I noticed that it links against bdb,
because I had installed bdb since my last pam build.
As I'm not really fond of including bdb in all installations using pam,
I found out that by specifying
--enable-db=no
at configure time, pam will be build without it.
It might be a good idea to add a remark about that option on the pam
page. What do others think about it?
Not sure. We have bdb listed as optional. We really don't normally
list how to disable optional packages. I really don't know what it does
for pam. Looking at the man page it says it is a PAM module to
authenticate against a db database.
Looking at my log, it appears to just build the module pam_userdb.so.
It looks like the only downside of building that module if you are not
going to use it is using about 72 KB on disk.
