I'd like to fix this bug but I don't know what's the right solution. Should the code not fail if the file doesn't exist and create it as necessary? Or rather fix the installation script in the RPM package to touch the file? *** Bug 87455 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Added the /etc/security/opasswd to spec file for pam-0.77-61. *** Bug 117960 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Reopening for RHEL3.
