Hi,
I've just built an LFS SVN-20140611 system with some "essential-to-me"
packages like mc, emacs, etc.
Now I'm exploring the Linux-PAM world and built the triplet: Linux-PAM,
shadow with PAM and sudo.
But regarding libcap, I have a question:
Does rebuilding libcap with PAM enhance anything in the LFS system if no
other /etc/pam.d files are added?
Short answer: no
You don't need to rebuild libcap, you can simply just build PAM module
and install it, but nothing would use it unless you add it to
/etc/pam.d/* files. I believe I use it in auth section in system-auth
file. "-auth optional pam_cap.so".
That is, does recompiling libcap "simply prepare" the library for later
packages and could be treated as a dependency that can wait until
needed, or has any value to add libcap with PAM to such a basic system?
Thanks.
ALZ.
OK. I'll wait until any other package triggers its building with PAM
enabled.
Thank you.
ALZ.
