incompatible changes to libpam.so; prior versions were buggy so upgrading
is highly recommended.
Pkgsrc changes from version 0.72 include:
* Honor ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}: the config files are now found in /etc/pam.conf
and /etc/pam/*.conf, or in the appropriate ${PKG_SYSCONFBASE} directory.
* Convert to use the general INSTALL/DEINSTALL scripts.
Changes from version 0.72 include:
* bug fixes to almost every PAM module
* pam_pwdb replaced with pam_unix
* fixed a small security hole (more of a user confusion issue) with
the unix and pwdb password helper binaries.
* improved handling of the setcred/close_session and update chauthtok
stack. *Warning* This is a backwardly incompatible change, but 'more
sane' than before. (Bug 129775 - agmorgan)
* added support for '/' symbols in pam_time and pam_group config files
(support for modern terminal devices). Fixed infinite loop problem
with '\\[^\n]' in these files.
* added accessconf=<filename> feature to pam_access

PAM provides a way to develop programs that are independent of
|
|
authentication scheme. These programs need "authentication modules" to be
|
|
attatched to them at run-time in order to work. Which authentication module
|
|
is to be attatched is dependent upon the local system setup and is at the
|
|
discretion of the local system administrator.
