Pierre,

Your suggestion about Linux-PAM tests is very relevant, and something
needs to be done. I have been thinking more about this, reading and
reading again your first post in the thread. Essentially, you are
suggesting to modify the tests instructions, so that if they are run in
an eventual reinstall or upgrade, the user doesn't get the configuration
directory lost. This gave me the following idea.

What about to summarize this for the user, instead of modifying the
instructions? It would be done in a note just before the tests:

"If you have a system with Linux-PAM installed and working, and wish to
run the tests, backup first your /etc/pam.d directory and, after the
tests are finished, remember to restore it"
