-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-8104 2008-09-16 04:19:02 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : pam_mount Product : Fedora 9 Version : 0.48 Release : 2.fc9 URL : http://pam-mount.sourceforge.net/ Summary : A PAM module that can mount volumes for a user session Description : This module is aimed at environments with central file servers that a user wishes to mount on login and unmount on logout, such as (semi-)diskless stations where many users can logon. The module also supports mounting local filesystems of any kind the normal mount utility supports, with extra code to make sure certain volumes are set up properly because often they need more than just a mount call, such as encrypted volumes. This includes SMB/CIFS, NCP, davfs2, FUSE, losetup crypto, dm-crypt/cryptsetup and truecrypt. If you intend to use pam_mount to protect volumes on your computer using an encrypted filesystem system, please know that there are many other issues you need to consider in order to protect your data. For example, you probably want to disable or encrypt your swap partition. Don't assume a system is secure without carefully considering potential threats. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update fixes two bugs: 1) The bug reported in Red Hat Bugzilla 462155: In case you updated to pam_mount-0.47 on Fedora 8 or from Fedora 8 (with a pam_mount version older than 0.47) to a newer release of Fedora, you probably need to rerun the script to convert your pam_mount config file. All commands need to be run as root. First create a backup of the old converted config file: # cp /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml.backup_version_0.47 Then re-run the conversion script: # convert_pam_mount_conf.pl < /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.rpmsave > /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml 2) The decryption needed to be done when you use the fskeypath-option was broken in the previous release of pam_mount and libHX. With pam_mount 0.48 and libHX 1.25 it should work again. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Sat Sep 13 2008 Till Maas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 0.48-2 - Update libHX dependencies - remove lsof dependency - Add patch to fix convert_pam_mount_conf.pl by Stephen P.
