pam-gnome-kerying needs to hook itself up to /usr/bin/passwd
Last modified: 2015-03-03 17:31:33 EST
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.
Tomas, what do you think?
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]'.
hmm that might be a reasonable solution
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
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) --Ray
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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
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.
