From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: PAM should support the old CHFN_RESTRICT parameter in login.defs Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: N/A Additional info:
As this parameter affects only chfn behaviour it has no sense implement it in PAM. But it should probably be wontfixed anyway.
Agree with the WONTFIX analysis. The code for CHFN_RESTRICT isn't even in the chfn source any more, with pam or without, so if you want the feature included, the best approach might be to submit a patch to the upstream maintainer (aeb).
