Bug Description

Binary package hint: slim

I installed Intrepid's version of SLiM (1.3.0) in Hardy via prevu, and it appears to be missing the file /etc/pam.d/slim.
Other login managers that support PAM (wdm, xdm, gdm) each have their own file. Since this file is missing, certain security files (ie /etc/security/limits.conf) aren't being used as they were with other login managers.

As a workaround, I merely copied wdm's pam file (/etc/pam.d/wdm) like so:

---
$ sudo cp /etc/pam.d/wdm /etc/pam.d/slim
---

wdm and gdm have identical pam.d files; please include a copy with slim as well so limits.conf and other PAM files take effect when logging in.
