SU and Login source code for FC2

[Roberto Gallo]

Hello there,

I am developing a new PAM module in order to include physical
authentication on my system.

However I would like to make as little mess as possible regarding
configuration files on /etc/pam.d...

This way I really need Login and SU pam aware source codes to recompile
them with different application identifications. These new binaries will
provide me a way to isolate my development from Linux (Fedora Core 2)
healthy authentication system.

Since I am new to Linux I don't know how to get these source
codes... I would really appreciate a simple link to these files... (or
maybe a good explanation on how to get them).

Thank you in advance,

Roberto Gallo.

Here's how to get the source of anything installed on your FC2
system:

1) Find the packages the files you're after belong to:

$ rpm -qf `which su`
coreutils-5.2.1-7

$ rpm -qf `which login`
util-linux-2.12-18

2) Get the source RPM's of those packages:

$ wget \
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/SRPMS/coreutils-5.2.1-7.src.rpm
$ wget \
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/SRPMS/util-linux-2.12-18.src.rpm

3) Install the source RPM's:

$ rpm -i coreutils-5.2.1-7.src.rpm util-linux-2.12-18.src.rpm

4) Peruse the source:

$ cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
$ ls

Cheers
Steffen.

And since that's kinda very silly, it's useful to have a $HOME/.rpmmacros:

[17:34:26 ***@server:~/NESI] $ cat /home/alexander/.rpmmacros
%_topdir /home/alexander/RPM
%_tmppath /home/alexander/RPM/tmp

Afterwards, it's possible to "install" source rpms as a normal
user.
