=========================
Hello,

installing 'login' tries to mangle the PAM config files to
significantly lower the bars on what I normally have (every
time :-(   ).

I think that nullok should be abolished, and min/max should be
7/15 at least, and md5 should be on by default ;-)

Please tell me what you think about this.
=========================

login PAM modules actually include /etc/pam.d/common-* files which all
have default values considered to be "safe".

So, this bug certainly does not belong to the login package but to the
libpam-runtime package, which these files belong to.

Indeed, given the default contents of these files, which appear very
safe to me, I think this bug should be closed as pointless.
