...ery prospect that the code will mutate into the same kind of thing as in SSH. It's a tricky problem to solve, because the code varies so much and is so important. I wonder if this is a suitable moment to suggest that record_login() gets a major rewrite. We could abstract it more, so we pass a superstructure containing all the information we have to functions that handle exactly one of utmp, utmpx, wtmp, wtmpx, lastlog, or whatever else comes along. *Then* we could use #ifdef to call the right code. One way might be: #ifdef LINUX /* Linux: Do the business with PAM <cough> */ set_pam_entry (s...

...m] unless they are absolutely necessary. This rule was helping to not introduce new bugs. Debugging is really expensive process (that is why it often gets abridged in favor of spending effort on yet more "new features" - see, e.g. firefox and friends). Yet one more thing is: building superstructure on top of what actually works. NM is one of examples. Printer configuration tool is another (whereas CUPS web interface - http://localhost:631 - is same simple, and is even better). I understand potential goal: to give newcomers the way to handle thing (by pointing, clicking and "it works...

...then was punch card and batch; what do you mean you want more than one person to use such an expensive thing as a computer live, wasting its valuable time?? Many seem to forget just how subversive Unix was back in the day relative the the old ways. > ... > Yet one more thing is: building superstructure on top of what actually > works. The definition of what works can and does change over time.? Sure, an iron rim wheel can work for the new automobile, but the basic change in what the wheel needed to do (with buggy the wheel doesn't need to provide good traction, that's what hooves...
