add symlinks for pam-modules for proper function

Open AndreasPfaffeneder opened this issue 10 years ago • 4 comments

The rpms provided by vmware install a PAM-Service. This pam-service references modules not provided by RH. See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/977793 This extension creates symlinks to make the service working again or at least to prevent error messages.

@AndreasPfaffeneder Why use an Exec and not a File resource for these symlinks?

@AndreasPfaffeneder Was there a reason to use Exec resources instead of File for the symlinks?

sorry for the late response: Intention was to prevent the creation of broken symlinks and only to create the symlink if the target really exists.

Ah, that makes sense.

Could I convince you to provide an rspec test for the new code?
