What
This PR disables PAM for Fedora and Oracle.
Why
Because the build for Fedora 40 and Oracle 8 & 9 are currently broken, because PAM during SSH authentication is not working correctly in Podman. See the Jira ticket for more information.
Disabling PAM is officially not supported in Fedora & Oracle, but I couldn't find anything broken for our use-case.
For Fedora and Oracle 9 I simply created an additional config file to disable PAM, for Oracle 8 (which doesn't use
.d-config files by default) I edited the main config.References
Jira: https://jira.greenbone.net/browse/VTA-641
Checklist
I've built the containers for Fedora 39 and 40 as well as Oracle 7, 8 and 9. They are working again / working as expected.
