[Thinkfinger-devel] [PATCH] install pam_thinkfinger.so without execute permission

[Luca Capello]

Hello,

I wonder why pam_thinkfinger.so is installed with permissions 755:
AFAIK you cannot directly execute it, so why not permissions 644
instead? Attached a patch for thinkfinger/pam/Makefile.am :-)

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Index: Makefile.am

pam_PROGRAMS = pam_thinkfinger.so
pamdir = $(SECUREDIR)

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
