#34: support alternative "vendor configuration" files as fallback to /etc --------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: kay | Owner: pam-developers@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Component: library Version: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: --------------------------+------------------------------ PAM is the last Base OS tool which requires files in /etc, which are not recoverable by a booting system with no explicit local configuration.
Following the general model of system files versus local config files, this patch adds support for /usr/lib/pam.d/ directory and turn a few module errors for missing configuration files into PAM_IGNORE.
