Package: libpam-runtime
Version: 1.0.1-7
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/pam-auth-update
While writing the 'namespace' pam-auth-update configuration file Emacs created
/usr/share/pam-config/namespace~ as a backup file. The file 'namespaces~'
also existed (note the extra 's') in the configuration directory.[1]
When I ran pam-auth-update to enable my new configuration I was presented with
two 'namespace' definitions; it seems that the tool parsed the content twice.
I don't know which of the two files was picked up twice, sorry.
It would be sensible, I think, to define a standard suffix for the
configuration files (eg: .conf) and use that as a "whitelist" for valid files,
since that will ensure that *only* valid configuration files are loaded.
Alternately, you may need to extend the blacklist of files to ignore, although
I think that is a loosing battle myself. :)
Regards,
Daniel
