[Bug 369575] Re: Why is /usr/share/pam-configs/krb5 specifying minimum_uid= ?

[Daniel Richard G.]

Thought about the upgrade process a bit. How about this:

1. kerberos-configs starts generating new krb5.conf files with
minimum_uid=1000. Then a little later...

2. libpam-krb5 has minimum_uid removed from pam-configs/krb5. On
upgrade, it checks to see if this is in krb5.conf. If yes, great. If no,
then copy pam-configs/krb5 to e.g. krb5_old, have pam-auth-update use
that instead of the new krb5 profile, and show a warning to the user.
The user can dismiss the warning, and nothing changes for him/her.
krb5_old sticks around as a conffile (removed if package is purged, but
otherwise remains untouched by future upgrades), and the regular krb5
profile doesn't have to be hobbled by backward-compatibility measures.
