Hi there list, Pretty sure my questions come from inexperience with PAM. So please bear with me :D Lately I've been busy with OpenLDAP and Samba. One of the things which would make life easier with these would be PAM. Unfortunatelly the distro I use - Slackware - does not have PAM. So I decided to make my own Linux-PAM-Slackware packages (and recompiling a bunch of standard Slackware stuff like the Shadowm package :D) But building the Slackware package I came across something I can't keep wondering about. I configured with `./configure --enable-docdir=/usr/doc/pam-0.77` I use checkinstall to build the actual package. And checkinstall warned me about installed files being left behind in the build dir. And sure enough when I check the package content there are files from my home dir: ./home/ ./home/pkn/ ./home/pkn/pam/ ./home/pkn/pam/Linux-PAM-0.77/ ./home/pkn/pam/Linux-PAM-0.77/bin/ ./home/pkn/pam/Linux-PAM-0.77/bin/xsh ./home/pkn/pam/Linux-PAM-0.77/bin/blank ./home/pkn/pam/Linux-PAM-0.77/bin/check_user ./home/pkn/pam/Linux-PAM-0.77/doc/ ./home/pkn/pam/Linux-PAM-0.77/doc/pdf/ ./home/pkn/pam/Linux-PAM-0.77/doc/pdf/pam_appl.pdf ./home/pkn/pam/Linux-PAM-0.77/doc/pdf/pam_modules.pdf ./home/pkn/pam/Linux-PAM-0.77/doc/pdf/pam.pdf ./home/pkn/pam/Linux-PAM-0.77/modules/ ./home/pkn/pam/Linux-PAM-0.77/modules/pam_unix/ ./home/pkn/pam/Linux-PAM-0.77/modules/pam_unix/pam_unix.so (deleted some columns to get it to fit this email) I'm not really troubled by the pdf files, I can delete them from the package since they are allready in the docdir I specified. The file pam_unix.so is allready there in /lib/security, so I gues I can delete that one too from the package. It are the files in bin/ that trouble me.... the way the package is there are no files which will be installed in /bin. I even checked pam-0.75-48.rpm on the RedHat site..... they are not in there either. So why are they there? Are they for debugging or something? Can I delete them from the package? Or do I need them to be installed in /bin?
