</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Summary     : A userspace implementation of devfs
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Description :
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Udev is an implementation of devfs/devfsd in userspace using sysfs and
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> /sbin/hotplug. It requires a 2.6 kernel to run properly.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Like devfs, udev dynamically creates and removes device nodes from /dev/.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> It responds to /sbin/hotplug device events.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> misc &lt;misc&gt; 173-1.mga2:
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> + Revision: 135235
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> - fix description ( rpmlint error )
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>   + tv &lt;tv&gt;
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>     - fix file list
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>     - new release
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>     - rediff patch 0
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> So, with the new udev, it seems that udev-acl is removed. This is a step
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> towards systemd which now handles all the ACL application.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Do we really want this new udev now? If so, then we really need to step
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> up the systemd integration. Things are mostly working fine for me
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> without udev-acls, but even with the systemd package as presently
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> available, I have to edit my /etc/pamd.d/system-auth file to include the
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> pam_systemd stuff - see my earlier message to this list about that.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> what about doing like fedora ?
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> %post
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> # Make sure pam_systemd is enabled
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> if ! /bin/grep -q pam_systemd /etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac ; then
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>         /usr/sbin/authconfig --update --nostart &gt;/dev/null 2&gt;&amp;1 || :
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>         # Try harder
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>         /bin/grep -q pam_systemd /etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac ||
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> /usr/sbin/authconfig --updateall --nostart &gt;/dev/null 2&gt;&amp;1 || :
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> fi
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> I think it may be easier to write a script around augeas than import
</I>&gt;<i> authconfig, as I suspect that it would do much more change.
</I>
I'm not familiar with augeas... but this should be possible. Do the
tools we already have for e.g. configuring LDAP logins have routines for
editing the system-auth file perhaps?

&gt;&gt;<i> Yup that's what I asked in my last email about this several weeks ago.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I've pinged it up to get more discussion about the topic.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> In fact, it was not clear that you asked a question in the mail :/
</I>
Hmm, I thought: &quot;The question is, how should we handle this?&quot; was a
pretty obvious question... I even used the word &quot;question&quot; :p :D

&gt;<i> We said that we would support booting without systemd-, so to me, this
</I>&gt;<i> should be taken in account.
</I>
Yeah but I think using the &quot;optional&quot; word in pam config means that it's
quite safe even if systemd is not running, so I don't think this is an
issue.

That's why I suggested even just patching pam directly... but modifying
the file should also be possible as that what ldap auth configuration
does anyway, so it's no great shakes.
