This appears to be fixed upstream since Linux-PAM 0.78. The following patch adds checks to make sure only "nis" and "file" methods are attempted: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pam/Linux-PAM/modules/pam_unix/pam_unix_passwd.c?r1=1.16&r2=1.17 (all in one line) So I suggest this bug gets tagged 'fixed-upstream' (although I haven't tested the upstream code myself). Btw. this bug also prevents me from using 'passwd' instead of 'yppasswd' (which currently forces everything to DES for shadow setups). Nevertheless, thanks for your packaging work :-) Fabian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
