There is no login program in potato (other than pam-apps in potato only that does not use pam_pwdb) that uses pam_pwdb. So if you are using it then it was a custom setup and not something a depends could handle. pam_pwdb is not required to access /etc/passwd (the pam_unix_* modules handle it quite well). -- ----- -- - -------- --------- ---- ------- ----- - - --- -------- Ben Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian GNU/Linux OpenLDAP Core - [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] UnixGroup Admin - Jordan Systems The Choice of the GNU Generation ------ -- ----- - - ------- ------- -- ---- - -------- - --- ---- - --
