Package: libpam-ldap
Version: 184-8.5
Severity: normal
I used debconf to configure this package and, after telling it binddn would be
needed, the password got saved in /etc/pam_ldap.conf file, which is world
readable by default. The only way to access our ldap database is authenticating
with binddn. If I change permission of pam_ldap.conf to 600 it doesn't work
either.
Perhaps it's a missunderstanding of my part. Is that password meant to be public
like that? It strikes me as strange, however I couldn't find much info on the
package, I'm not sure even who's the upstream. By reading
/usr/share/doc/libpam-ldap/README.gz I think it's http://www.padl.com. So I
suggest you add the Homepage control field to your package. Anyhow, I couldn't
find much information regarding my concerns there.
