... ciao:

: on "4-3-2007" "Kirkwood, David A." writ:
: make changes permanent in /etc/pam.d/system-auth
: since it always replaces the system-auth file with

    who is responsible for YOUR system's security.

    i have a hunch compiling source not your first inclination.  i think
it fair to say most of this readership heen there.  however, at some
point, it is prudent to to take command of your system, in lieu of
getting convenience.

    in addition, when a problem noted with a package, i tend to get the
latest update from its source, rather than a backported kluge from a
distribution provider.  the latter turns out to be a trap ...

... i'm a man, but i can change,
    if i have to , i guess ...
