This dangerous eventuality can be avoided entirely by using the method I posted before.

The shadow package now provides /bin/login too. The block was put in place because (a) pam-login is deprecated (b) it doesn't make sense to have two packages providing overlapping files (indeed, the collision protection feature would not allow for it under normal circumstances). The gory details are provided in one of the developer's blogs (also mentioned in my previous post). Cheers, --Kerin Millar -- [email protected] mailing list
