[Bug 373732] [NEW] libpam-mount ignores debug setting with luserconf

[Markus Wigge]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libpam-mount

When you enable '<luserconf name=".pam_mount.conf.xml" />' in
'/etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml' with each login the module writes a
debug message on the terminal:

path to luserconf set to /home/xyz/.pam_mount.conf.xml

For SSH this is just annoying, but it breaks FTP logins, as FTP clients
don't know how to handle the output!

maybe pam-mount should not be included generally for common-auth but only where needed.
login and gdm are quite enough for most cases.

here is a small 1-line patch that works for me:

 }

and please remove the "use_first_pass" from "debian/pam-auth-update" the
current version does not understand it!
