Hi all...
Since the future of HAL seems to involve the PolicyKit module, I'm
attempting to install it for HAL 0.5.8.1. Among other things, it
installs a new PAM configuration, which basically amounts to:
# /etc/pam.d/policy-kit
auth include system-auth
account include system-auth
password include system-auth
session include system-auth
I understand that this is attempting to bring in configuration info from
another file (probably RedHat-specific), but I don't understand PAM well
enough to rewrite it for LFS. Can anyone who does (or who has already
experimented with PolicyKit) advise on this?
system-auth is just a grouping of policies. I can't remember if I
copied this directly from Fedora or Paldo.
$ cat /etc/pam.d/system-auth
#%PAM-1.0
auth required pam_env.so
auth sufficient pam_unix.so likeauth nullok
auth required pam_deny.so
account required pam_unix.so
password sufficient pam_unix.so nullok md5 shadow
password required pam_deny.so
session required pam_limits.so
session required pam_unix.so
You could customize that however you want, obviously. Basically, this
is just RedHat's standard "this user is authenticated" stack.
