Interesting. I never tried AMGH or Kiosk mode, so I never noticed this.
I installed over the years several SRSS versions on several Debian versions
and the PAM stuff was always *appended*. So the installer is broken
for Debian (and presumably Ubuntu, too).
Has anyone else seen this problem, trying, e.g., Kiosk mode with Ubuntu?
Regarding the configuration of sensitive and complex stuff
like network interfaces, DHCP and PAM: I would always prefer good documentation
with a lot of typical examples over complex installation shell scripts which
are nice
when they work but a nightmare when not.
Or, to have the best of both worlds: please provide installation scripts
which work in the majority of cases and also provide documentation which
explains how the scripts are supposed to work and which config files are
touched by the scripts.
