Well, I tried, and it seems my assuptions on the libdir= from
libpam_misc.lawas right. I did the same thing again for
libpam.la because libpam.so also was not found.

However, now I ran into a new problem, and I am not sure how to fix it. The
issue now is:

$ ls -lag /usr/lib/libpam{,misc}.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 blfs 10 feb  3 13:24 /usr/lib/libpam_misc.so -> ../../lib/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 blfs 10 feb  3 13:24 /usr/lib/libpam.so -> ../../lib/

It seems like both symlinks are pointing to the directory ../../lib.

I know some basics on bash, but its still puzzling for me and far from
routine. I thought I might have done something wrong so I went on step
back, unzipped Linux-PAM again and did these steps over:

$ make install
$ chmod -v 4755 /lib/security/unix_chkpwd

I skipped the tests that had to do with *.la because these files are
updated with the new path and allready in place.

$ mv -v /lib/security/pam_tally /sbin

$ if [ -L /lib/libpam.so ]; then
   for LINK in libpam{,c,_misc}.so; do
       ln -v -sf ../../lib/$(readlink /lib/${LINK}) /usr/lib/${LINK} &&
       rm -v /lib/${LINK}
   done
fi

I do have my doubts on this last if-statement for-loop, because I don't
realy think it does what it is supposed to do. In my situation, I am
building shadow from

/sources/security/shadow-4.1.3/

So ../../lib does not exist. I suppose that I can just drop the ../../
because I think the /lib/libpam{,c,_misc}.so are the files that are
required. While I'm writing this email I just decided that that is also the
next thing I want to try, however, I would realy appreciate some
confirmation from someone who has more skills and routine in bash than I do.

I'm a bit afreight of deviating from the instructions from the book,
because in the past, with earlier attempts of installing lfs, I also found
issues that forced me to attempt solving things myself and I did end up
with a broken or incomplete build, which is luckily not the case this time.

Besides that I'm also a bit paranoid on every package that has to do with
security, because in the near future I want to make another lfs build that
I want to use for website hosting, and I do need to be able to guarantee my
future users a stable service.

This one is on a notebook, with which I want to develop and test the
applications and configurations that I want to deploy on the next
installation, a server for hosting them.

Any assistance is realy appreciated, because I have to rely on the quality
and stability of the resulting builds in the future.

Thanks.
