Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-02-20 00:38:32 UTC
Requiring pam_unix and just pam_unix for all but auth is _not_ a good idea.

One more nail for webmin's coffin unless someone steps up to fix it.

cat /etc/pam.d/webmin 
#%PAM-1.0
auth    include         system-auth
auth    required        pam_unix.so     nullok
account required        pam_unix.so
session required        pam_unix.so

I am not sure if this belongs here, but webmin is not working at all. Did a fresh install.

Change to PAM config to mirror that of usermin

This is the USERMIN pam list ad distrubuted with 1.400.  I copied this file to /etc/pam.d/webmin and webmin 1.470 works correctly as always.  Should update to a system standard auth profile.

app-admin/webmin-1.400 is mno longer in the tree, the only version in the tree is 1.500 I it working as expected?
