Bug Description

pam 1.1.1-2ubuntu2 included in Lucid does not include /sbin/pam_tally2 which effectively breaks using pam_tally2 as you can not unlock a locked account without this utility. This has been fixed via debian bug #554010 and fixed in pam 1.1.1-3 in Maverick. I think this bug warrants a SRU.

Since pam_tally has been marked deprecated upstream in 1.1.2 in favor of pam_tally2, I agree that this is SRU-worthy.

Steve,

I no longer have access to those systems to properly test the bug is not
present.

It was a pretty easy one to check though /sbin/pam_tally2 needs to be
present :)

Hi Brian

The PAM packages in lucid-proposed fix the problem with the missing /sbin/pam_tally2.
