[Bug 1865226] Re: gdm3 fails to install /etc/pam.d/gdm-smartcard

[Sebastien Bacher]

comment from one of the Debian pkg-gnome maintainer

'the upstream gdm pam rules are not working out of the box due to nss
not installing the NSSDB in /etc/pki/nssdb/ (which I think is a
Fedoraism)'

** Summary changed:

- gdm3 fails to install /etc/pam.d/gdm-smartcard
+ gdm-smartcard pam config needs to be updated for Ubuntu and installed

Title:
  gdm-smartcard pam config needs to be updated for Ubuntu and installed

Status in gdm:

Bug description:
  the pam profile for gdm-smartcard is missing. gdm refuses to login
  with a smartcard. Looking at ubuntu/+source/gdm3, other pam files are
  pregenerated into debian/ and installed from there; gdm-smartcard is
  left out.
