Package: login
Version: 1:4.0.18.1-7
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
I'm sending a small patch to improve logging of login. When getpwnam() fails
inside the PAM section, login
would just silently quit, which caused me a considerable amount of pain while
debugging my setup. I thought,
I'd help avoid others falling into that trap in the future.
Kind regards,
Thiemo
