Hi. I uploaded a version of PAM today that fails to minimally work. If you install this package, the main PAM module (pam_unix) fails to load. This means that login, su and other programs that ask for a password all fail. Needless to say this is a critical bug. A fixed version of the package is now available at http://incoming.debian.org/pam_0.72-27_i386.deb. This package will replace the broken one in the Debian archive tomorrow afternoon. You can gain single user access to your Debian system even with a broken PAM by booting it with the init=/bin/sh argument. This should allow you to mount the root filesystem read/write, bring up the network, download a new package and install it. Needless to say, I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused and would be happy to help if you have any questions about repairing any damaged systems. I will be more careful of my testing procedure in the future and will avoid introducing errors after I have already confirmed things work. - --Sam -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.6 and Gnu Privacy Guard <http://www.gnupg.org/> iEYEARECAAYFAjs36q0ACgkQ/I12czyGJg9iDwCeOtTwW3zRzCMhMmgsmuh2+KBI rywAnjMQpMUjBhP6ClI9R2CBcFzPeqon =URfZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
