[gentoo-dev] New PAM/Shadow Rollout

[gentoo-dev] New PAM/Shadow Rollout

[Donny Davies]

Hi devs/users,

We've just released a much anticipated upgrade to sys-libs/pam
and sys-apps/shadow.  The new versions are now standard for
all profiles.  Older versions have been masked out.

This gives us pam_stack.so, /etc/pam.d/system-auth and various
other new pam modules.  In addition we now make use of cracklib
for system password security.  Existing packages providing an
/etc/pam.d file should be updated to make use of pam_stack.so
gradually.  Vice versa any new package providing a pam.d/ file
should try to make use of pam_stack'ed system-auth where at
all possible.  This greatly simplifies pam configuration.

Please remember to update your /etc/pam.d files if you have
config file protection enabled. (you should!)

If you have passwd problems after installing, please reboot.

Cheers
