Well, imagine that. There really wasn’t a problem to begin with I

guess. I followed the rest of the instructions on the page and now

I can log in with no errors. The warning in the middle of the page

suggested that I should stop there at not proceed if there were

any errors or else I would cripple my system, and I definitely

interpreted;

 

configuration error – unknown item ‘FAILLOG_ENAB’

configuration error – unknown item ‘LASTLOG_ENAB’

 

and so on as errors.

 

Is there a specific reason why the editing of the logins.def file

was placed at the bottom of the page instead of before the

warning? Had it been before the warning, I would not have wasted

2 days on the issue. If there is not reason I will suggest it

to the (B)LFS staff.

 

Also, as I am still a little paranoid, is there a way to ensure that

the PAM/shadow integration was 100% successful other then

being able to log in with no errors? I would like to be sure that by

commenting out the variables, I did not open some security hole,

or cripple my system in a way that not apparent right away.
