<PRE>Hello,

As seen in previous thread, it is recommended to have UsePAM set to yes
in sshd configuration. This is the default value in the config file
provided by the openssh-server package. However, it seems the
&quot;authentication&quot; part of the installer or drakauth sets UsePAM to no
when local authentication is selected :
<A HREF="http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/drakx/trunk/perl-install/authentication.pm?revision=3714&amp;view=markup#l328">http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/drakx/trunk/perl-install/authentication.pm?revision=3714&amp;view=markup#l328</A>

So most people will have UsePAM set to no.

I propose that the installer stop changing the UsePAM option, with
the following patch.

What do you think ?
