>Description:
Files in /usr/lib/security are required by
openpam_check_path_owner_perms() to be owned by root and
not writable by group/other. If this is not true, then
pam will fail (and you can't login).
(See external/bsd/openpam/dist/lib/openpam_check_owner_perms.c)
They are not explicitly installed as root, which can give a
installation which won't allow any authentication, etc.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use "BINOWN?=somethingelse" in your /etc/mk.conf (or set otherwise)
>Fix:
