Package: libpam-modules
Version: 0.72-35
Severity: wishlist
As I understand it, on a stand-alone Debian system it is sufficient
for unix_chkpwd to be SGID shadow.
While SUID root may be necessary for alternative password authentication
(NIS+?) I have observed that in some packages (e.g. cdrecord, ssh) where
SUID root isn't necessary the user can choose via debconf.
(possibly defaulting to SUID root with a low-priority option to
downgrade privileges?)
It's always nice to have one less SUID root program.

Description:
nis - Clients and daemons for the Network Information Services (NIS)
Closes: 492426
Changes:
nis (3.17-16) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Apply patch from Ubuntu to support unix_chkpwd not being root now that
the change in PAM has finally been made (closes: #492426).
* Disable Network Manager by default again since the experience in Ubuntu
suggests that it is still reporting bogus states.
