Re: Bug#88588: libpam-modules: pam-limits.so is broken



Sucking up to Branden?  Or are you sucking up to Thomas Bushnell?
Regardless of why you posted, you asked some questions, I guess I should
answer.  What I am WRT Debian is a long time user (~1996) who has gotten
sick of the idea that the DD is more important than the package.  The fact
that you seem to think that the circumstances around what I say is more
important than what I say is a perfect example of this.  As far as
credibility: I've stated this off list and on so often that it really
should be a FAQ.  Write me off at your own peril: sometimes I say things
that are relevant.  Often I'm the only one saying the relevant things
precisely because I'm abrasive: others would say it, but don't because
they don't want to hurt any feelings.  My advice: hang around, you may
learn something...(but take a valium first if you're susceptible to high
blood pressure :)
