Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-08-29 17:53:36 UTC
Ideally, when the user runs passwd (or system-config-password, or whatever)
their keyring password would get changed, too.

This requires changes to /etc/pam.d/passwd , but we don't want to introduce a
gnome depedency in /etc/pam.d/passwd, so we may need to make pam_gnomekeyring
not have any hard gnome-dependencies, or make pam not complain about optional
pam modules being missing.

Comment 1 Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-08-29 17:54:28 UTC
Tomas, what do you think?

Comment 2 Tomas Mraz 2007-08-29 20:35:12 UTC
By complaining you mean writing a message to the system log? I'm not sure
removing that message for all optional modules would be a good idea, it could
mean that real configuration errors can be unnoticed, esp. because the optional
modules do not make PAM calls fail.

I can imagine adding some extra syntax to PAM config files to denote a module to
be really optional meaning that if it is missing that PAM library shouldn't
issue the messages into syslog but this would have to be accepted into upstream
PAM first. It could for example look like 'passwd optional [pam_keyring.so]'.



Comment 3 Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-08-29 20:47:41 UTC
hmm that might be a reasonable solution

Comment 4 Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-08-29 20:52:22 UTC
maybe we could have another error code, missing, that could go along with the
other ones (success, ignore, cred_insufficent, authinfo_unavail, etc)

then we could do:

password [missing=ignore default=ignore] pam_gnomekeyring.so

or some such

Comment 5 Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-08-29 20:54:22 UTC
The other option is making a helper app that links against the various gnome
libs, and have pam_gnomekeyring.so have no dependencies on its own (and we'd
ship pam_gnomekeyring.so by default, and ship the helper app with gnome)

Comment 7 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 03:09:47 UTC
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 22:48:02 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 9 Bug Zapper 2009-07-14 17:21:28 UTC
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
