	== Note to DESTDIR Fans ==		== Note to DESTDIR Fans ==

	This package uses DESTDIR and for the most part installs itself beautifully. It has one problem however. The problem is [[Linux-PAM]]-related, so if you haven't installed [[Linux-PAM]], then you can ignore the rest of this section.		== Configuration Information ==

	The script that determines whether you are you using the /etc/pam.conf or the /etc/pam.d scheme for [[Linux-PAM]] configuration checks whether or not /etc/pam.d exists. If it does, then it assumes that you're using the /etc/pam.d scheme. If it doesn't, then it assumes that you're using the /etc/pam.conf scheme. This works just fine unless you're using DESTDIR. The script fails to take DESTDIR into account. As such, it goes looking for <DESTDIR>/etc/pam.d and naturally doesn't find it.

	So, if you're using DESTDIR, then it will ''always'' decide that you're using the /etc/pam.conf scheme. If you ''are'' using that scheme, then everythings fine and you can ignore the rest of this section. However if you're using the /etc/pam.d scheme, then you need to run the following command prior to running '''make install''':

	~~install -dv <DESTDIR>/etc/pam.d~~

	~~This rather simple fix makes it so that Fcron's script thinks that you're using the /etc/pam.d scheme - which of course is what we want. With that, DESTDIR works just as you'd expect.~~
