That's actually not a very good idea. When pam.conf is overwritten,
it's because some things changed in the base configuration. In
particular, after doing this, passwd *may* quit working.
Note that this problem, to the best of my knowledge, has only
occured for people upgrading from early versions of our Rembrandt
beta test.
The best answer is to re-run the post-install script for packages
which require pamconfig, the program which is used to add entries
to /etc/pam.conf To get a list of the installed packages which
require pamconfig, run this command:
rpm -q --whatrequires pamconfig
Here's a shell script which provides the easiest way to solve the
problem:
for i in $(rpm -q --whatrequires pamconfig) ; do
rpm --qf '%{POSTIN}' $i | sh -x
done
I'll have that answer put into the errata. Sorry for the confusion.
