Hi Brad / Vernon,

Regarding
https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/#/c/openbmc/openbmc/+/11497/
(extending from yocto to receipe-core (to add few more pam modules),
which is why it is getting added by default in /lib/security, which is
part of initramfs).

Currently this breaks palmetto, zaius & romulus. Not sure, what should
be direction in order to fix the build failure (whether to clean / steal
from rw fs?).

In today's call, there was a question about why it has to be in
initramfs and not in rofs, and this are the following, and it can be
changed in different way, if it is not required

i.e If rofs is not mapped / any problem with it, we still need to allow
the root user login, which require's pam_unix.so in initramfs itself
i.e. under /lib/security

if above requirement is not needed, then the the same can be pulled and
installed under /usr/lib/security  (which will be in rofs instead of
initramfs).

Let me know your thoughts.

regards,

Richard
