The instructions for PAM specify that the check stage is particularly important in view of the ability of a bad PAM installation to lock you out of your system. The actual instructions in the systemd develoment book are:
"Now run the tests by issuing make check. Ensure there are no errors produced by the tests before continuing the installation." However the PAM developers have split up the check into a lot of small sections, each with its own summary. Most of these contain only one test! The result is a very long output which flashes by very fast. On a virtual console, you can't page back far enough to see whether there were any errors in the earlier tests (maybe an xterm works better?) I suggest that the following sentence be added: "The check is rather verbose; you might want to redirect it into a log file in order to inspect it thoroughly." -- Hazel Russman -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
