I do not know. I just had it on my list of packages because I did a NMU earlier to solve an issue related to dependency based boot sequencing, and it was one of the three packages with RC issues on my list, so I decided to fix it, in an effort to reduce the number of RC issues in Lenny. I am not sure it is still needed. I am told by its author that SUSE dropped it two years ago in favor pam_resmgr. I hope its new maintainer evaluate it and decide if it should be removed or not. I guess removal require some transition plan for its existing users. Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
