Configurable PAM and NSS modules from the Debian Installer
Mentor: FabioTranchitella
Summary: allow the user to configure additional PAM and NSS modules from the Debian Installer
Required skills:
- Shell scripting
- Debian packaging
Description: It would be very important for the Debian allowing the user to configure additional PAM and NSS modules (eg. LDAP, NIS) during the installation process inside the Debian Installer. To do this, we have to provide tools and helpers to modify /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/pam.d/common-*, as well as changing the maintainer scripts for the packages libpam-* and libnss-* to apply the required changes at install time using debconf and these helpers.
