Public bug reported:
This is on Ubuntu 11.10 with libpam-runtime 1.1.3-2ubuntu2.1.
What happened :
While working on a PAM module packaging, I felt the need to try and add
some comments to my packages file in /usr/share/pam-configs/. Of course,
it turns out there is no such thing as comments in those files, but my
attempt of one was not handled very gracefully :
# pam-auth-update
Use of uninitialized value $fieldname in hash element at
/usr/sbin/pam-auth-update line 688, <PROFILE> line 1.
Use of uninitialized value $fieldname in hash element at
/usr/sbin/pam-auth-update line 689, <PROFILE> line 1.
# cat /usr/share/pam-configs/yubikey
# test comment
Name: YubiKey two-factor authentication with online validation (recommended)
...
What I would have expected :
Wouldn't it be reasonable for badly formatted profiles to be
ignored/rejected?
Thanks.
