Dare I ask why you're doing some so fundamentally foolish as upgrading PAM from source then?

I just have RedHat at work. In fact, if you'd bothered to read my website, you'd realise that. The thing is, if its in redhat, and its open source, its availible in SRPM format. [pam-0.72 contains a copy of RedHat's PAM source post rpm -bp (prep source)] ---BEGIN--- chris@eris:/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/pam-0.72$ find . -name 'pam_stack*' ./modules/pam_stack ./modules/pam_stack/pam_stack.8 ./modules/pam_stack/pam_stack.c ---END--- Further inspection shows that this module is contained the the source tar.gz "pam-redhat-0.72-26.tar.gz". Checking the RPM's change log reveals... ---BEGIN--- * Mon Mar 20 2000 Nalin Dahyabhai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Add new pam_stack module. ---END--- RedHat does produce their own stuff for their distros without submitting it back to the main tree. pam_stack is obviously one such item.
