Recommended update for aaa_base
SUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for aaa_base
This collective update for aaa_base provides the following
fixes and enhancements:
* Use of large UID numbers could cause the creation of
a huge "faillog" file in /var/log. When logging in as root,
the faillog(8) utility could read this file sequentially,
introducing long delays. This update removes the call to
faillog from the default login scripts. Users interested in
keeping this functionality are advised to use the PAM
module pam_tally2(8). (bnc#801037)
* During system shutdown, blogd(8) could close the
system console before all messages were printed.
(bnc#789893)
* Mime types for .docx, .dotx, .pptx, .xlsx and .xltx
were added to /etc/mime.types. (FATE#313237)
