Package: libpam-runtime
Version: 1.1.1-6.1

is there any reason why /etc/pam.d/common-session-noninteractive should
load the pam_unix module? i.e. does it serve any useful purpose?

unless there's a good reason not to, i strongly recommend that pam_unix
should be disabled in common-session-noninteractive.


The man page for pam_unix says:

  "The session component of this module logs when a user logins or leave
   the system."

so it does nothing but spam the auth log every time cron runs something.
ditto for other non-interactive "logins". there's already too much noise
in the auth log...which makes it harder to spot things that really need
to be noticed.


i've commented it out on my systems with no ill-effects, but that means i
now no longer benefit pam-auth-update
