The problem is pam_console (and maybe others) modules (which are by default configured to be used) require glib2. And I don't see any possibility to make the pam_console optional. So you can tune your minimum install so the pam_console is removed from all /etc/pam.d/... configs and then you can remove glib2. Or you can write a patch for all pam modules in redhat which use glib2 which replace the functionality provided by glib2 by another means and if it's good it will be applied. But I won't write it as I have many more useful things to do. -- Tomas Mraz <tmraz@xxxxxxxxxx>
