Package: libpam-mount
Version: 0.26-1
I've noticed some strange behaviour with libpam-mount here on my Etch
installation. The problem occured when I did an "aptitude install
clamav-freshclam", as then a clamav user is created and rightafter a
shell for this user is called to start the freshclam daemon. But it
fails to do so because before the shell is started one gets a pam prompt
asking for a password (required for clamav), eventhough use_first_pass
is enabled for the pammount module. But as the clamav user doesn't have
a password (system account), one cannot escape this.
I think the correct behaviour should be that pam_mount simply ignores
any accounts that don't have a password (when use_first_pass is used).
Another solution could be that when pam_mount detects the mount
directory doesn't exist, it simply skips all checking etc.
