Обсуждение: Link to PAM pages broken
Hi all, I notice that the links to both the Linux PAM page and Solaris PAM page are broken in our documentation. The bottom of the http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/auth-methods.html page points to http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/ and http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/pam/. The former is broken, the latter redirects to some generic Oracle page. I can't find a suitable candidates for substitution. I found http://linux.die.net/man/8/pam.d and http://dsc.sun.com/solaris/articles/user_auth_solaris3.html but nothing to directly replace them. Any ideas? -- Thom Brown Twitter: @darkixion IRC (freenode): dark_ixion Registered Linux user: #516935 EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

Found a link to a site which contains identical Linux PAM information: http://kernel.osuosl.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/Linux-PAM-html/sag-module-reference.html But even so, I have sent an email to kernel.org notifying them of the missing pages. -- Thom Brown Twitter: @darkixion IRC (freenode): dark_ixion Registered Linux user: #516935 EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

No response from kernel.org and the link still doesn't work, so we still have 2 broken links. -- Thom Brown Twitter: @darkixion IRC (freenode): dark_ixion Registered Linux user: #516935 EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

I'm happy to commit a doc patch if you have one, but otherwise I'm not sure what we can do. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

Is it unreasonable to assume that kernel.org will come back before any
doc change would have wide distribution? AFAIK they're just cleaning up
from an intrusion, they have not shut down permanently.

The site has been back up for a while, but there doesn't seem to have been much advancement in restoring the documentation in question. I also haven't had any feedback from kernel.org with regards to any plan to restore these docs. I guess this can be revisited in the new year to see if the situation has changed. But as for the sun.com links, I don't see those coming back at all. Those have either been relocated to a secret uncrawlable location, or it's been deleted. They did exist at least until June this year (http://web.archive.org/web/20110604010813/http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/pam/) but have since been purged for some unknown reason. -- Thom Brown Twitter: @darkixion IRC (freenode): dark_ixion Registered Linux user: #516935 EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

Having just sent that message, I suddenly stumbled upon this which might be worth linking to for Solaris: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19082-01/819-3321/pam-1/index.html -- Thom Brown Twitter: @darkixion IRC (freenode): dark_ixion Registered Linux user: #516935 EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

Would it perhaps be a good idea to have the link in the docs just go to a page on the wiki, and then point that one onwards? That way, getting a change out there would be a lot quicker... -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
