OK, so this version of the patch to bluescan.c is fixed to handle error conditions gracefully { return(false) instead of exit(1) } and to report errors using syslog()
Another strange point that I don't understand -- pam_blue, as compiled from the source package, expects its configuration files in /etc/security/bluescan.conf but the Ubuntu distribution expects /etc/security/bluesscan.conf [note the extra "s"] ** Patch added: "Improved patch to bluescan.c" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libpam-blue/+bug/912695/+attachment/2660480/+files/bluescan.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/912695 Title: libpam_blue requires root, fails if non-privileged To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libpam-blue/+bug/912695/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
