How to merge .rpmnew files in Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM)?
- by Question Overflow
A few .rpmnew files are being created after performing an upgrade of the Fedora OS. The normal procedure for merging .rpmnew files into the original ones is to compare the differences, make the necessary changes to the configuration on the .rpmnew files, and replace the original files with the new ones. However, the files contained in /etc/pam.d are links to files with same the filename appended with -ac, example:
password-auth links to password-auth-ac and has password-auth.rpmnew as upgrade.
How do I go about merging these files?
