Hello everyone!

Yesterday I commited a few important updates for /etc/pam.d files. These 
changes should now make tools like userdel, usermod and groupdel to work 
properly without giving you an error, this only apply if you have compiled 
shadow module with Linux-PAM.

All pam-files in shadow are now using /etc/pam.d/system-auth as global 
file, thus if you need to add your own specific pam_*.so files for 
authorization you just need to edit system-auth and all other services 
will take advantage of it.

To get these changes re-lin Linux-PAM and shadow, but be aware that 
re-lining Linux-PAM will trigger a rebuild of all PAM aware modules you 
have installed.

Another way is to manually copy these files from the moonbase to 
/etc/pam.d.

The files can be found in /var/lib/lunar/moonbase/security/Linux-PAM/pam.d 
and /var/lib/lunar/moonbase/security/shadow/pam.d

Same changes will be comming for openssh and other pam aware modules in a 
near future. Please report any problems as usual.

Best wishes
Stefan Wold
