Bug 70063 – snort-2.2.0 won't compile with pam-0.77-r2

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description SoLoR 2004-11-04 08:58:31 UTC]

When i try to emerge snort 2.2.0 with PAM support (0.77-r2), It compiles but when merging to / i get folowing message:

>>> Merging net-analyzer/snort-2.2.0 to / 
usermod: PAM authentication failed 

!!! ERROR: net-analyzer/snort-2.2.0 failed. 
!!! Function pkg_preinst, Line 102, Exitcode 1 
!!! usermod problem 
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. 

!!! FAILED preinst: 1 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.USE="pam" emerge snort
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
snort won't install because of missing /etc/pam.d/usermod if i create symlink 
from useradd to usermod i can install it but don't know if it is installed 
correctly.

Expected Results:  
snort installed...
