+
+TODO:
+
+  - sanitize use of md5 throughout distribution.. Make a static
+    library for helping to develop modules that contains it and other
+    stuff. Also add sha-1 and ripemd-160 digest algorithms.
+  - once above is done. remove hacks from the secret@here module etc..
+  - document PAM_INCOMPLETE changes
+  - verify that the PAM_INCOMPLETE interface is sensible.   Can we
+    catch errors? should we permit item changing etc., between
+    pam_authenticate re-invocations?
+  - verify that the PAM_INCOMPLETE interface works (auth seems ok..)
+  - add PAM_INCOMPLETE support to modules (partially added to pam_pwdb)
+  - work on RFC.
+  - auth and acct support in pam_cracklib, "yes, I know the password
+    you just typed was valid, I just don't think it was very strong..."

+
+0.78: Do Nov 18 14:48:36 CET 2004
+
+* pam_unix: change the order of trying password changes - local first,
+  NIS second (t8m)
+* pam_wheel: add option only_root to make it affect authentication
+  to root account only
+* pam_unix: test return values on renaming files and report error to
+  syslog and to user
+* pam_unix: forced password change shouldn't trump account expiration
+* pam_unix: remove the use of openlog (from debian - toady)
+* pam_unix: NIS cleanup (patch from Philippe Troin)
+* pam_access: you can now authenticate an explicit user on an explicit
+  tty (from debian - toady)
+* pam_limits, pam_rhosts, pam_unix: fixed hurd portability issues
+  (patch from Igor Khavkine)
+* pam_env: added comments in the configuration file to avoid errors
+  (from debian - toady)
+* pam_mail: check PAM_NO_ENV to know if we can delete the environment
+  variable (from debian - toady)
+* pam_filter: s/termio/termios/g (from debian - toady)
+* pam_mkhomedir: no maxpathlen required (from debian - toady)
+* pam_limits: applied patch to allow explicit limits for root
+  and remove limits on su. (from debian - toady)
+* pam_unix: severe denial of service possible with this module since
+  it locked too aggressively. Bug report and testing help from Sascha
+  Loetz. (Bug 664290 - agmorgan)
+* getlogin was spoofable: "/tmp/" and "/dev/" have the same number of
+  characters, so 'ln /dev/tty /tmp/tty1 ; bash < /tmp/tty1 ; logname'
+  attacks could potentially spoof pam_wheel with the 'trust' module
+  argument into granting access to a luser. Also, pam_unix gave
+  odd error messages in such a situation (logname != uid). This
+  problem was found by David Endler of iDefense.com (Bug 667584 -
+  agmorgan).
+* added my new DSA public key to the pgp.keys.asc file. Also included
+  a signed copy of my new public key (1024D/D41A6DF2) made with my old
+  key (1024/2A398175).
+* added "include" directive to config file syntax.
+  The whole idea is to create few "systemwide" pam configs and include
+  parts of them in application pam configs.
+  (patch by "Dmitry V. Levin" <ldv@altlinux.org>) (Bug 812567 - baggins).
+* doc/modules/pam_mkhomedir.sgml: Remove wrong debug options
+  (Bug 591605 - kukuk)
+* pam_unix: Call password checking helper whenever the password field
+  contains only one character (Bug 1027903 - kukuk)
+* libpam/pam_start.c: All service names should be files below /etc/pam.d
+  and nothing else. Forbid paths. (Bug 1027912 - kukuk)
+* pam_cracklib: Fix error in distance algorithm in the 0.9 pam_cracklib
+  module (Bug 1010142 - toady)
+* pam_userdb: applied patch from Paul Walmsley <paul@booyaka.com>
+  it now indicates whether encrypted or plaintext passwords are stored
+  in the database needed for pam_userdb (BerliOS - toady)
+* pam_group: The module should also ignore PAM_REINITIALIZE_CRED to
+  avoid spurious errors (from Linux distributors - kukuk)
+* pam_cracklib: Clear the entire options structure (from Linux
+  distributors - kukuk)
+* pam_issue: We write a NUL to prompt_tmp[tot_size] later, so make sure
+  that the destination is part of the allocated block, make do_prompt
+  static (from Linux distributors - kukuk)
+* ldconfig: Only run full ldconfig, if we don't install into a FAKEROOT
+  environment, else let ldconfig only create the symlinks correct
+  (from Linux distributors - kukuk)
+* pam_unix/pam_pwdb: Use SIG_DFL instead of SIG_IGN for SIGCHLD
+  (from Linux distributors - kukuk)
+* Add most of Steve Grubb's resource leak and other fixes (from
+  Linux distributors - kukuk)
+* doc/Makefile: Don't include .cvsignore files in tar ball (kukuk)
+* libpam_misc/misc_conv.c: Differentiate between Ctrl-D and
+  <Return> (Bug 1032604 - kukuk)
+* Make.Rules.in: Add targets for installing man pages for modules
+  (from Linux distributors - kukuk)
+* Add pam_xauth module (Bug 436440 - kukuk)
+* Add pam_localuser module (Bug 436444 - kukuk)
+* Add pam_succeed_if module (from Linux distributors - kukuk)
+* configure.in: Fix check for libcrypt (Bug 417704 - kukuk)
+* Add the "broken_shadow" argument to pam_unix, for ignoring errors
+  reading shadow information (from Linux distributors - kukuk)
+* Add patches to make PAM modules reentrant (Bug 440107 - kukuk)
+* Merge patches from Red Hat (Bug 477000 and other - kukuk)
+* Fix pam_rhosts option parsing (Bug 922648 - kukuk)
+* Add $ISA support in config files (from Red Hat - kukuk)
+
+0.77: Mon Sep 23 10:25:42 PDT 2002
+
+* documentation support for pdf files was not quite right -
+  installation was messed up.
+* pam_wheel was too aggressive to grant access (in the case of the
+  'deny' option you want to pay attention to 'trust'). Fix from
+  Nalin (Bugs 476951, 476953 - agmorgan)
+* account management support for: pam_shells, pam_listfile, pam_wheel
+  and pam_securetty (+ static module fix for pam_nologin). Patch from
+  redhat through Harald Welte (Bug 436435 - agmorgan).
+* pam_wheel feature from Nalin - can use the module to provide wheel
+  access to non-root accounts. Also from Nalin, a bugfix related to
+  the primary group of the applicant is the 'wheel' group. (Bugs
+  476980, 476941 - agmorgan)
+* pam_unix and pam_pwdb: by default turn off the SIGCHLD handler while
+  running the helper binary (patch from Nalin) added the "noreap"
+  module argument to both of these modules to turn off this new
+  default. Bugfix found by Silvan Minghetti for former module and
+  521314 checkin. (Bugs 476963, 521314 - agmorgan).
+* updated CHANGELOG and configure.in for 0.77 work.
+
+0.76: Mon Jul  8 21:44:59 PDT 2002
+
+* pam_unix: fix for legacy crypt() support when the password entered
+  was long. (Bug 521314 - agmorgan).
+* pam_access no longer include gethostname() prototype complaint from
+  David Lee (Bug 415423 - agmorgan).
+* make pam_nologin more secure by default, added two new module
+  arguments etc. - acting on suggestion from Nico (Bug 419307 -
+  agmorgan)
+* link in libpam to libpam_misc - since the latter uses functions in
+  the former it makes some sort of sense to do this (although, in the
+  static library case, I remain to be convinced). (Bug 565470 -
+  agmorgan).
+* absorbed some of the proposed darwin (OS X) changes from Luke Howard
+  (of PADL software) - hopefully will get the rest (see Rob Braun's
+  534205) by 0.77 (Bug 491466 - agmorgan).
+* README fix for pam_unix from Nalin (Bug 476971 - agmorgan).
+* add support for building pdf files from the documentation - request
+  from 'lolive' (Bug 471377 - agmorgan).
+* documented the equivalent '[..]' expressions for "required"
+  etc. Request from Ross Patterson (Bug 529078 - agmorgan).
+* '[...]' parsing: document it and also fix it to support '\]' escape
+  sequence. Feature request from Russell Kliese (Bug 517064 -
+  agmorgan).
+* pam_rootok: compilation warning noted by Tony den Haan wrt no
+  prototype for strcmp() (Bug 557322 - agmorgan).
+* documentation: (a few of mine in passing) and app documentation
+  suggestions regarding PAM environment variables and module
+  documentation changes regarding the conversation function from Jenn
+  Vesperman (Bug 527821, 527965 - agmorgan)
+* documentation: pam_time.sgml typo fixed, pam_motd exists now,
+  correct Red Hat comment about config files (Bugs 554274, 554261,
+  554182 - agmorgan)
+* pam_limits: added '%' domain for maxlogins limiting, now '*' and @group
+  have the old meaning (every) and '%' the new one (all)
+  (Bug 533664 - baggins)
+* pam_limits: put not so interesting log messages under debug arg
+  (Bug 533668 - baggins)
+* pam_access: added the 'fieldsep=' argument (Bug 547051 - agmorgan),
+  made a PAM_RHOST of "" equivalent to NULL (Bug 547521 - agmorgan).
+* pam_limits: keep well know behaviour of maxlogins default ('*') limit
+  (Bug 533664 - baggins)
+* pam_unix: more from Nalin log password changes (Bug 517743 - agmorgan)
+* pam_limits: make it use the priority value specified in config
+  (bug 530428 - baggins)
+* pam_unix: removed broken code in password update code. Report from
+  Len Lattanzi (Bug 507379 - agmorgan)
+* pam_mkhomedir: recurse directories. Patch from Nalin (Bug 476981 -
+  agmorgan)
+* pam_limits can handle negative priority limits now (which can apply
+  to the superuser too) - based on patch from Nalin. Also cleanup the
+  error handling that was very sloppy before. Also, courtesy of Berend
+  De Schouwe get the math right on login counting (Bug 476990, 476987,
+  493294 - agmorgan)
+* documentation: random typo fixes from Nalin and more stuff from me
+  (Bug 476949, Tasks 43507, 17426 - agmorgan)
+* A Tru64 fix (given other stuff has already resolved this, it
+  actually just a comment actually) from 'Eddie'. (Bug 418450 -
+  agmorgan)
+* pam_handlers: BSD fix from Dag-Erling Smørgrav and Anton Berezin
+  (Bug 486063 - agmorgan)
+* added the dynamic/* directory to the distribution. If you go in
+  there after building the rest of the tree, you'll make a pam.so
+  object that can be used by something like a java runtime with
+  dlopen. Its not very well tested - caveat emptor. (Bug 232194 -
+  agmorgan)
+* somehow pam_unix has started forcing the user prompt to be "login: ".
+  This is entirely inapropriate as it overrides PAM_USER_PROMPT. (Bug
+  486361 - agmorgan).
+* added a static module helper library object includes a few changes
+  to examples/xsh.c for testing purposes (added a simple shell wrapper
+  for running xsh with the sandbox libraries), and also modified the
+  pam_rhosts_auth module to use this new library. (Bug 490938, 409852
+  - agmorgan).
+* pam_unix: fix 'likeauth' to kill off the memory leak once and for all.
+  (Bug 483959 - vorlon)
+* pam_unix: restore handling of 'likeauth' argument to a known working
+  state; prettify AUTH_RETURN macro; remove redundant argv checks in
+  pam_sm_setcred() (Bugs 483959, 113596 - vorlon)
+* pam_cracklib: another try at implementing similar() from Harald
+  Welte and Nalin (Bugs 436053, 476957 - agmorgan)
+* pam_access: default access.conf file contained a type (console
+  instead of LOCAL) fix from Nalin (Bug 476934 - agmorgan)
+* pam_unix: fixed bizarre memory leak pointed out by Fernando Trias
+  (Bug 483959 - agmorgan)
+* misc string comparison length checking changes from Nalin. Modules
+  touched, pam_cracklib, pam_listfile, pam_unix, pam_wheel (Bug 476947 -
+  agmorgan)
+* pam_userdb: require that all of typed password matches that in
+  database report and fix from Vladimir Pastukhov. (Bug 484252 - agmorgan)
+* pam_malloc: revived malloc debugging code, now tied to
+  --enable-memory-debug and added strdup() support (Bug 485454 - agmorgan)
+* pam_tally: Nalin's fix for lastlog corruption (Bug 476985 - agmorgan)
+* pam_rhosts: Nalin adds support for '+hostname', and zdd fix
+  compilation warning. (Bug 476986 - agmorgan)
+* pam_motd: Nalin fixed compiler warning. (Bug 476938 - agmorgan)
+* pam_pwdb: Solar Designer pointed out that there was a problem with
+  the compatibility support for md5 password hashing. (Bug 460717,
+  476961 - agmorgan)
+* pam_issue: Nalin found segfaulting problems if the PAM_USER_PROMPT
+  is unset, found some similar problems with assumptions about
+  realloc. (Bug 476983 - agmorgan)
+* pam_env: 'weichangyang of hotmail' pointed out a wild string with no
+  valid '\0' was leading to problems with sshd and suggested fix (Bug
+  473034 - agmorgan)
+* MANDIR cleanup. It defaults to /usr/share/man, but can be overridden
+  using the --enable-mandir ./configure option, similarly for DOCDIR
+  from Nalin (Bug 476940 - agmorgan)
+* pam_filter cleanup (including moving the filter directory) Nalin
+  and Harald Welte (Bugs 436057, 476970 - agmorgan)
+* db3 is now recognized as a libdb candidate (Bug 435764 - agmorgan)
+* more changes (extracted from redhat version) courtesy of
+  Harald Welte (Bugs pam_limits=436061, pam_lastlog=436060,
+  pam_mkhomedir/pam_env=435991 - agmorgan)
+* fix for legacy behavior of pam_setcred and pam_close_session in
+  the case that pam_authenticate and pam_open_session hadn't been
+  called - bug report from Seongwan Park. (Bug 468724 - agmorgan)
+* some BSD updates and fixes from Mark Murray - including a slightly
+  more robust conversation function and some minimization of gcc
+  warnings. (Bugs 449203,463984 - agmorgan)
+* verified that the setcred stack didn't suffer from the bug I was
+  nervous about, add a new module pam_debug to help me test this.
+  fixed a libpam/pam_dispatch.c instrumentation line that I tripped
+  over when testing. Also restructured pam_warn to help here (Bug
+  424315 - agmorgan).
+* pam_unix/support.c: sample use of reentrant NSS function.  Not yet active,
+  because modules do not include _pam_aconf_h! (Bug 440107 - vorlon)
+* doc/Makefile changes - use $(mandir) [courtesy Harald Welte] (Bug
+  435760) and add some rules to make/delete the draft rfc I've been
+  working on (Task 17426 - agmorgan)
+* pam_modules.sgml: sourceforge has changed its CVS viewing software
+  (Bug 460491 - agmorgan)
+* pam_unix_passwd: got rid of an annoying warning (Bug 461089 - agmorgan)
+* configure.in, _pam_aconf.h.in: set the stage for fully reentrant PAM
+  modules, with some infrastructure to detect getxxbyxx_r() functions
+  (Bug 440107 - vorlon)
+* pam_unix: removed superfluous use of static variables in md5 and bigcrypt
+  routines, bringing us a step closer to thread-safeness.  Eliminated
+  some variable indirection along the way.  (Bug 440107 - vorlon)
+* pam_tally: remove #include of stdlib.h, which isn't needed by anything
+  found in this module.  Can be readded if we find a real need for it at
+  a later date. (Bug 436432 - vorlon)
+* pam_tally: added an #include (was it really needed?) and made the
+  pam_tally app install (with more pretty printing and a corrected
+  Makefile dependency) motivated by a (red hat diff) courtesy of Harald
+  Welte (Bug 436432 - agmorgan)
+* configure.in changes to help support non-Linux environments courtesy
+  of Scott T. Emery (Bug 422563 - agmorgan)
+* made a pam_cracklib enhancement to interpret -ve limits in a
+  sensible fashion contributed by Werner Puschitz (Bug 413162 -
+  agmorgan)
+* another fix for the latest number of rlimits available to pam_limits
+  (Bug 424060 - agmorgan)
+* removed stale link from pam_pwdb documentation (Bug 433460 - agmorgan)
+* pam_appl.sgml change - more discussion of choosing a service name
+  (Bug 417512 - agmorgan)
+* more specific linking requirements for -lndbm for pam_userdb - from
+  David Lee (Bug 417339 - agmorgan)
+* a large number of small changes to make AIX support better (Bug
+  416229 - agmorgan)
+* $(MAKE) instead of 'make' - from Scott T. Emery (Bug 422144 -
+  agmorgan)
+* c++ header fixes for pam_misc.h and pam_client.h - from Alexandre
+  Sagala (Bug 420270 - agmorgan)
+* pam_access fixes - looks out for trailing '.' - from Carlo Marcelo
+  Arenas Belon (Bug 419631 - agmorgan)
+* don't zero out password strings during pam_unix's password changing
+  function (Bug 419803 - vorlon)
+* propagate some definitions to the _pam_aconf.h file - from David Lee
+  (Bug 415419 - agmorgan)
+* solaris GCC OS_CFLAGS change from David Lee (Bug 415412 - agmorgan)
+* added a comment to this CHANGELOG to explain why most of the bugids
+  used below appear not to be known to sourceforge [try adding 100000
+  to the bugid number.] (Bug 414943 - agmorgan)
+* bumped version numbers and also added support for SONAME defines
+  that appear not to have survived the great autoconf experiment (Bug
+  414669 - agmorgan).

+* fix pam_userdb to make and link both .o files it needs - converse()
+  wasn't being linked! (Bug 132880 - agmorgan)
+* added some sys-admin documentation for the pam_tally module (Bug
+  126210 - agmorgan).
+* added a link to module examples from the module writers doc (Bug
+  131192 - agmorgan).
+* fixed a small security hole (more of a user confusion issue) with
+  the unix and pwdb password helper binaries. The beef is described in
+  the bug report, but no uid change was possible so no-one should
+  think they need to issue a security bulletin over this one! (Bug
+  112540 - agmorgan)
+* pam_lastlog needs to be linked with -lutil, also removed ambiguity
+  from sysadmin guide regarding this module being a 'session' module
+  (Bug 131549 - agmorgan).
+* pam_cracklib needs to be linked with -lcrypt (old password checking)
+  (Bug 131601 - agmorgan).
+* fixes for static library builds and also the examples when linked
+  with the debugging build of the libraries. (Bug 131783 - agmorgan)
+* fixed URL for original RFC to a cached kernel.org file. (Bug 131503
+  - agmorgan)
+* quoted the $CRACKLIB_DICTPATH test in configure.in (Bug 130130 -
+  agmorgan).
+* improved handling of the setcred/close_session and update chauthtok
+  stack. *Warning* This is a backwardly incompatable change, but 'more
+  sane' than before. (Bug 129775 - agmorgan)
+* bumped the version number, and added some code to assist in making
+  documentation releases (Bug 129644 - agmorgan).
+
+0.74: Sun Jan 21 22:36:08 PST 2001
+
+* made 0.74 release (Bug 129642 - agmorgan)
+* libpam - cleaned up a few non-static functions to be static and added
+  support for libpam to enforce things like pam_[gs]et_data() and
+  AUTHTOK rules for using the API. Also documented pam_[gs]et_item()
+  a little better including return codes (Bugs 129027, 128576 -
+  agmorgan).
+* pam_access - fixed the non-default config file option (Bug 127561 -
+  agmorgan)
+* pam.8 manual page clarified with respect to the default location for
+  finding modules, also added some text describing the [...] control
+  syntax. (Bug 127625 - agmorgan)
+* md5.h ia64 fixes for pam_unix and pam_pwdb (Bug 127700 - agmorgan)
+* removed requirement for c++ from the configure{.in,} files (Bug
+  128298 - agmorgan)
+* removed subdirectories from man page redirections (124396 - baggins)
+* per David Lee, fixed non-POSIX shell command in modules/pam_filter/Makefile
+  (Bug 126440 - vorlon)
+* modify format of pam_unix log messages to include service name
+  (Bug 126423 - vorlon)
+* prevent pam_unix from logging unknown usernames (Bug 126431 - vorlon)
+* changed format of pam_unix 'authentication failure' log messages to make
+  them clearer and more consistent (Bug 126036 - vorlon)
+* improved portability of pam_unix by eliminating Linux-specific utmp
+  defines in PAM_getlogin() (Bug 125704 - vorlon)
+* removed static variables from pam_tally (Bug 117434 - agmorgan)
+* added copyright message to pam_access module from original logdaemon
+  sources (Bug 125022 - agmorgan)
+* configure.in - removed the GCC -Wtraditional flag (Bug 124923 - agmorgan)
+* pam_mail - use PAM_PATH_MAILDIR as the location of mail spool
+  (Bug 124397 - baggins)
+* _pam_aconf.h.in, configure.in - added PAM_PATH_MAILDIR set via
+  --with-mailspool=dir option (default is _PAM_MAILDIR if defined
+  in paths.h otherwise /var/spool/mail (Bug 124397 - baggins)
+* removed unnecessary CVS Log tags from all over the source
+  (Bug 124391 - baggins)
+* pam_tally - check for PAM_TTY if PAM_RHOST is not set when writing
+  to faillog (Bug 124394 - baggins)
+* use O_NOFOLLOW if available when opening debug log (Bug 124385 - baggins)
+* pam_cracklib - removed comments about pam_unix not working with
+  pam_cracklib, added information about use_authtok parameter
+  (Bug 124388 - baggins)
+* pam_userdb - fixed wrong definition of struct pam_module (was pam_wheel)
+  (Bug 124386 - baggins)
+* fixed example/Makefile include path (Bug 124187, 127563(?) - agmorgan)
+* pam_userdb compiles on RH5x. Also removed circular dependency on
+  configure.in. Also bumped revision number to 0.74. (Bug 124136 -
+  agmorgan)
+
+0.73: Sat Dec  2 00:04:04 PST 2000
+
+* updated documentaion revisions and added 'make release' support
+  to the top level Makefile (Bug 124132 - agmorgan).
+* documented Qmail support in pam_mail (Bug 109219 - baggins)
+* add change_uid option to pam_limits, and set real uid only if
+  this option is present (Bug 124062 - baggins)
+* pam_limits - set real uid to the user for who we set limits.
+  (Bug 123972 - baggins)
+* removed static variables from pam_limits (thread safe now). (Bug
+  117450 - agmorgan).
+* removed static variable from pam_wheel (module should be thread safe
+  now). (Bug 112906 - 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. (Bug 116076 - agmorgan)
+* avoid potential SIGPIPE when writing to helper binaries with (Bug
+  123399 - agmorgan)
+* replaced bogus logic in the pam_cracklib module for determining if
+  the replacement is too similar to the old password (Bug 115055 -
+  agmorgan)
+* added accessconf=<filename> feature to pam_access - request from
+  Aldrin Martoq and Meelis Roos (Bugs 111927,117240 - agmorgan)
+* fix for pam_limit module not dealing with all limits Adam J. Richter
+  (Bug 119554 - agmorgan)
+* comment fix describing fail_delay callback in _pam_types.h (Bug
+  112646 - agmorgan)
+* "likeauth" fix for pam_unix and pam_pwdb which (Bug 113596 - agmorgan)
+* fix for pam_unix (support.c) to avoid segfault with NULL password
+  (Bug 113238 - vorlon)
+* fix to pam_unix_passwd: try repeatedly to get a lock on the password
+  file, instead of failing immediately (Bug 108845 - fix vorlon)
+* fix to pam_shells: logged information was not formatted correctly
+  (extra comma) (Bug 111491 - fix vorlon)
+* fix for C++ application support (Bug 111645 - fix agmorgan)
+* fix for typo in pam_client.h (Bug 111648 - fix agmorgan)
+* removal of -lpam from pam_mkhomedir Makefile (Bug 116380 - fix agmorgan)
+* autoconf support [Task ID 15788, Bug ID 108297 - agmorgan with help!]
+ - bugfix for libpamc.h include file [Bug ID 117476 - agmorgan]
+ - bugfix for pam_filter.h inclusion [Bug ID 117474 - agmorgan]
+
+0.72: Mon Dec 13 22:41:11 PST 1999
+
+* patches from Debian (Ben Collins): pam_ftp supports event driven
+  conversations now; pwdb_chkpwd cleanup; pam_warn static compile fix;
+  user_db compiler warnings removed; debian defs file; pam_mail can
+  now be used as a session module
+* ndbm compilation option for user_db module (fix explained by Richard Khoo)
+* pam_cracklib bug fix
+* packaging fixes & build from scratch stuff (Konst Bulatnikov & Frodo
+  Looijaard)
+* -ldl appended to the libpam.so compilation make rule. (Charles Seeger)
+* Red Hat security patch for pam_pwdb forwarded by Debian! (Ben
+  Collins. Fix provided by Andrey as it caught the problem earlier in the
+  code.)
+* heuristic to prevent leaking filedescriptors to an agent. [This needs
+  to be better supported perhaps by an additional libpamc API function?]
+* pam_userdb segfault fix from (Ben Collins)
+* PAM draft spec extras added at request of 'sen_ml'
+
+0.71: Sun Nov  7 20:21:19 PST 1999
+
+* added -lc to linker pass for pam_nologin module (glibc is weird).
+* various header changes to lower the number of warnings on glibc
+  systems (Dan Yefimov)
+* merged a bunch of Debian fixes/patches/documentation (Ben Collins)
+  things touched: libpam (minor); doc/modules/pam_unix.sgml; pam_env
+  (plus docs); pam_mkhomedir (new module for new home directories on
+  the fly...); pam_motd (new module); pam_limits (adjust to match
+  docs); pam_issue (new module + doc) [Some of these were also
+  submitted by Thorsten Kukuk]
+* small hack to lower the number of warnings that pam_client.h was
+  generating.
+* debian and SuSE apparently can use the pam_ftp module, so
+  removed the obsolete comment about this from the docs. (Thorsten
+  Kukuk)
+
+0.70: Fri Oct  8 22:05:30 PDT 1999
+
+* bug fix for parsing of value=action tokens in libpam/pam_misc.c was
+  segfaulting (Jan Rekorajski and independently Matthew Melvin)
+* numerous fixes from Thorsten Kukuk (icluding much needed fixes for
+  bitrot in modules and some documentation) that got included in SuSE 6.2.
+* reentrancy issues in pam_unix and pam_cracklib resolved (Jan Rekorajski)
+* added hosts_equiv_rootok module option to pam_rhosts module (Tim Berger)
+* added comment about 'expose_account' module argument to admin and
+  module writers' docs (request from Michael K Johnson).
+* myriad of bug fixes for libpamc - library now built by default and
+  works with the biomouse fingerprint scanner agent/module
+  (distributed separately).
+
+0.69: Sun Aug  1 20:25:37 PDT 1999
+
+* c++ header #ifdef'ing for pam_appl.h (Tuomo Pyhala)
+* added pam_userdb module (Cristian Gafton)
+* minor documentation changes
+* added in revised pam_client library (libpamc). Not installed by
+  default yet, since the example agent/module combo is not very secure.
+* glibc fixes (Thorsten Kukuk, Adam J. Richter)
+
+0.68: Sun Jul  4 23:04:13 PDT 1999
+
+* completely new pam_unix module from Jan Rekorajski and Stephen Langasek
+* Jan Rekorajski pam_mail - support for Maildir format mailboxes
+* Jan Rekorajski pam_cracklib - support for old password comparison
+* Jan Rekorajski bug fix for pam_pwdb setcred reusing auth retval
+* Andrey's pam_tally patch (lstat -> fstat)
+* Robert Milkowski's additional pam_tally patches to **change format of
+  /var/log/faillog** to one from shadow-utils, add new option "per_user"
+  for pam_tally module, failure time logging, support for fail_line
+  field, and support for fail_locktime field with new option
+  no_lock_time.
+* pam_tally: clean up the tally application too.
+* Marcin Korzonek added process priority settings to pam_limits (bonus
+  points for adding to documentation!)
+* Andrey's pam_pwdb patch (cleanup + md5 endian fubar fix)
+* more binary prompt preparations (make misc conv more compatible with spec)
+* modified callback hook for fail delay to be more useful with event
+  driven applications (changed function prototype - suspect no one
+  will notice). Documented this in app developer guide.
+* documentation for pam_access from Tim Berger
+* syntax fixes for the documentation - a long time since I've built it :*(
+  added some more names to the CREDITS file.
+
+0.67: Sat Jun 19 14:01:24 PDT 1999
+
+* [dropped libpam_client - libpamc will be in the next release and
+   conforms to the developing spec in doc/specs/draft-morgan-pam.raw.
+   Sorry if you are keeping a PAM tree in CVS. CVS is a pain for
+   directories, but this directory was actually not referenced by
+   anything so the disruption should be light.]
+* updates to pam_tally from Tim
+* multiple updates from Stephen Langasek to pam_unix
+* pam_filter had some trouble compiling (bug report from Sridhar)
+* pam_wheel now attempts to identify the wheel group for the local
+  system instead of blindly assuming it is gid=0. In the case that
+  there is no "wheel" group, we default to assuming gid=0 is what was
+  meant - former behavior. (courtesy of Sridhar)
+* NIS+ changes to pam_unix module from Dmitry O Panov
+* hopefully, a fix for redefinition of LOG_AUTHPRIV (bug report Luke
+  Kenneth Casson Leighton)
+* fix for minor typo in pam_wheel documentation (Jacek Kopecky)
+* slightly more explanation of the [x=y] pam.conf syntax in the sys
+  admin guide.
+
+0.66: Mon Dec 28 20:22:23 PST 1998 <morgan@linux.kernel.org>
+
+* Started using cvs to keep track of changes to Linux-PAM.  This will
+  likely break some of the automated building stuff (RPMs etc..).
+* security bug fix to pam_unix and pam_tally from Andrey.
+* modules make file is now more automatic.  It should be possible to
+  unpack an external module in the modules directory and have it automatically
+  added to the build process.  Also added a modules/download-all script
+  that will make such downloading easier.  I'm happy to receive patches to
+  this file, informing the distribution of places from which to enrich itself.
+* removed pam_system_log stuff.  Thought about it long and hard: a
+  bad idea.  If libc cannot guarantee a thread safe syslog, it needs
+  to be fixed and compatibility with other PAM libraries was
+  unnecessarily strained.
+* SAG documentation changes: Seth Chaiklin
+* rhosts: problems with NIS lookup failures with the root-uid check.
+  As a work-around, I've partially eliminated the need for the lookup
+  by supplying two new arguments: no_uid_check, superuser=<username>.
+  As a general rule this is more pluggable, since this module might be
+  used as an authentication scheme for a network service that does not
+  need root privilege...
+* authenticate retval -> setcred for pam_pwdb (likeauth arg).
+* pam_pwdb event driven support
+* non openlog pam_listfile logging
+* BUGFIX: close filedescriptor in pam_group and pam_time (Emmanuel Galanos)
+* Chris Adams' mailhash change for pam_mail module
+* fixed malloc failure check in pam_handlers.c (follow up to comment
+  by Brad M. Garcia).
+* update to _pam_compat.h (Brad M. Garcia)
+* support static modules in libpam again (Brad M. Garcia)
+* libpam/pam_misc.c for egcs to grok the code (Brad M. Garcia)
+* added a solaris-2.5.1 defs file (revived by Derrick J Brashear)
+* pam_listfile logs failed attempts
+* added a comment (Michael K Johnson pointed it out) about sgml2latex
+  having a new syntax.  I'll make it the change real when I upgrade...
+* a little more text to the RFC, spelling fix from William J Buffam.
+* minor changes to pam_securetty to accommodate event driven support.
+
+0.65: Sun Apr  5 22:29:09 PDT 1998 <morgan@linux.kernel.org>
+
+* added event driven programming extensions to libpam
+ - added PAM_INCOMPLETE handling to libpam/pam_dispatch.c
+ - added PAM_CONV_AGAIN which is a new conversation response that
+   should be mapped to PAM_INCOMPLETE by the module.
+ - ensured that the pam_get_user() function can resume
+ - changes to pam_strerror to accommodate above return codes
+ - clean up _pam_former_state at pam_end()
+ - ensured that former state is correctly initialized
+ - added resumption tests to pam_authenticate(), pam_chauthtok()
+ - added PAM_FAIL_DELAY item for pausing on failure
+
+* improved _pam_macros.h so that macros can be used as single commands
+  (Andrey)
+
+* reimplemented logging to avoid bad interactions with libc.  Added
+  new functions, pam_[,v]system_log() to libpam's API.  A programmer
+  can check for this function's availablility by checking if
+  HAVE_PAM_SYSTEM_LOG is #defined.
+
+* removed the reduce conflict from pam_conv1 creation -- I can sleep
+  again now. :^]
+
+* made building of static and dynamic libpam separate.  This is
+  towards making it possible to build both under Solaris (for Derrick)
+
+* made USE_CRACKLIB a condition in unix module (Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton)
+
+* automated (quiet) config installation (Andrey)
+
+0.64: Thu Feb 19 23:30:24 PST 1998 Andrew Morgan <morgan@linux.kernel.org>
+
+* miscellaneous patches for building under Solaris (Derrick J Brashear)
+
+* removed STATIC support from a number of module Makefiles.  Notably,
+  these modules are those that use libpwdb and caused difficulties
+  satisfying the build process. (Please submit patches to fix this...;)
+
+* reomved the union for binary packet conversations from
+  (_pam_types.h).  This is now completely implemented in libpam_client.
+
+* Andrey's patch for working environment variable handling in
+  sh_secret module.
+
+* made the libpam_misc conversation function a bit more flexible with
+  respect to binary conversations.
+
+* added top level define (DEBUG_REL) for compiling in the form of
+  a debugging release.  I use this on a Red Hat 4.2 system with little
+  chance of crashing the system as a whole.  (Andrey has another
+  implementation of this -- with a spec file to match..)
+
+0.63: Wed Jan 28 22:55:30 PST 1998 Andrew Morgan <morgan@linux.kernel.org>
+
+* added libpam_client "convention" library.  This makes explicit the
+  use of PAM_BINARY_PROMPT.  It is a first cut, so don't take it too
+  seriously yet.  Comments/suggestions for improvements are very
+  welcome.  Note, this library does not compile by default.  It will
+  be enabled when it is judged stable.  The library comes with two
+  module/agent pairs and can be used with ssh using a patch available
+  from my pre-release directory [where you got this file.]
+
+* backward compatibility patch for libpam/pam_handlers.c (PAM_IGNORE
+  was working with neither "requistie" nor "required") and a DEBUG'ing
+  compile time bug with pam_dispatch.c (Savochkin Andrey Vladimirovich)
+
+* minor Makefile change from (Savochkin Andrey Vladimirovich)
+
+* added pam_afsauth, pam_afspass, pam_restrict, and pam_syslog hooks
+  (Derrick J Brashear)
+
+* pam_access use of uname(2) problematic (security problem
+  highlighted by Olaf Kirch).
+
+* pam_listfile went a bit crazy reading group membersips (problem
+  highlighted by Olaf Kirch and patched independently by Cristian
+  Gafton and Savochkin Andrey Vladimirovich)
+
+* compatibility hooks for solaris and hpux (Derrick J Brashear)
+
+* 64 bit Linux/alpha bug fixed in pam_rhosts (Andrew D. Isaacson)
+
+0.62: Wed Jan 14 14:10:55 PST 1998   Andrew Morgan <morgan@linux.kernel.org>
+
+* Derrick J Brashear's patches: adds the HP stuff missed in the first
+  patch; adds SunOS support; adds support for the Solaris native ld
+  instead of requiring gnu ld.
+
+* last line of .rhosts file need not contain a newline. (Bug reported by
+  Thompson Freeman.)
+
+0.61: Thu Jan  8 22:57:44 PST 1998  Andrew Morgan <morgan@linux.kernel.org>
+
+* complete rewrite of the "control flag" logic.  Formerly, we were
+  limited to four flags: requisite, required, sufficient, optional.
+  We can now use these keywords _and_ a great deal more besides.
+  The extra logic was inspired by Vipin Samar, a preliminary patch was
+  written by Andy Berkheimer, but I "had some ideas of my own" and
+  that's what I've actually included.  The basic idea is to allow the
+  admin to custom build a control flag with a series of token=value
+  pairs inside square brackets.  Eg., '[default=die success=ok]' which
+  is pretty close to a synonym for 'requisite'.  I'll try to document it
+  better in the sys-admin guide but I'm pretty sure it is a change for
+  the better....  If what is in the sys-admin guide is not good enough
+  for you, just take a look at the source for libpam ;^)
+
+0.59: Thu Jan  8 22:27:22 PST 1998 Andrew Morgan <morgan@linux.kernel.org>
+
+* better handling of empty lines in .rhosts file.  (Formerly, we asked
+  the nameserver about them!) Fix from Hugh Daschbach.
+
+* _broke_some_binary_compatibility_ with previous versions to become
+  compliant with X/Open's XSSO spec.  Specifically, this has been
+  by changing the prototype for pam_strerror().
+
+* altered the convention for the conversation mechanism to agree
+  with that of Sun.  (number of responses 'now=' number of messages
+  with help from Cristian for finding a bug.. Cristian also found a
+  nasty speradic segfault bug -- Thanks!)
+
+* added NIS+ support to pam_unix_*
+
+* fixed a "regular file checking" problem with the ~/.rhosts sanity
+  check.  Added "privategroup" option to permit group write permission
+  on the ~/.rhosts file in the case that the group owner has the same
+  name as the authenticating user.  :*) "promiscuous" and "suppress"
+  were not usable!
+
+* added glibc compatibility to pam_rhosts_auth (protected __USE_MISC
+  with #ifndef since my libc already defines it!).
+
+* Security fix from Savochkin Andrey Vladimirovich with suggested
+  modification from Olaf Seibert.
+
+* preC contains mostly code clean-ups and a number of changes to
+  _pam_macros.
+
+0.58: whenever
+
+* pam_getenvlist() has a more robust definition (XSSO) than was previously
+  thought.  It would seem that we no longer need pam_misc_copy_env()
+  which was there to provide the robustness that pam_getenvlist()
+  lacked before...
+
+  Accordingly, I have REMOVED the prototype from libpam_misc. (The
+  function, however, will remain in the library as a wrapper for
+  legacy apps, but will likely be removed from libpam_misc-1.0.) PLEASE
+  FIX YOUR APPS *BEFORE* WE GET THERE!
+
+* Alexy Nogin reported garbage output from pam_env in the case of
+  a non-existent environment variable.
+
+* 'fixed' pwdb compilation for pam_wheel.  Not very cleanly
+  done.. Mmmm. Should really clean up the entire source tree...
+
+* added prototypes for mapping functions
+
+			<**WARNING**>
+
+  various constants have had there names changed.  Numerical values have
+  been retained but be aware some source old modules/applications will
+  need to be fixed before recompilation.
+
+			</**WARNING**>
+
+* appended documentation to README for pam_rhosts module (Nicolai
+  Langfeldt).
+
+* verified X/Open compatibility of header files - note, where we differ
+  it is at the level of compilation warnings and the use of 'const char *'
+  instead of 'char *'.  Previously, Sun(X/open) have revised their spec
+  to be more 'const'-ervative in the light of comments from Linux-PAM
+  development.
+
+* Ooops! PAM_AUTHTOKEN_REQD should have been PAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD.
+
+	changed: pam_pwdb(pam_unix_acct) (also bug fix for
+	_shadow_acct_mgmt_exp() return value), pam_stress,
+	libpam/pam_dispatch, blank, xsh.
+
+* New: PAM_AUTHTOK_EXPIRED - password has expired.
+
+* Ooops! PAM_CRED_ESTABLISH (etc.) should have been PAM_ESTABLISH_CRED
+  etc... (changed - this may break some people's modules - PLEASE TAKE
+  NOTE!)
+	changed: pam_group, pam_mail, blank, xsh; module and appl
+	docs, pam_setcred manual page.
+
+* renamed internal _pam_handle structure to be pam_handle as per XSSO.
+
+* added PAM_RADIO_TYPE  (for multiple choice input method).  Also
+  added PAM_BINARY_{MSG,PROMPT} (for interaction out of sight of user
+  - this could be used for RSA type authentication but is currently
+  just there for experimental purposes).  The _BINARY_ types are now
+  usable with hooks in the libpam_misc conversation function. Still
+  have to add PAM_RADIO_TYPE.
+
+* added pam_access module (Alexei Nogin)
+
+* added documentation for pam_lastlog.  Also modified the module to
+  not (by default) print "welcome to your new account" when it cannot
+  find a utmp entry for the user (you can turn this on with the
+  "never" argument).
+
+* small correction to the pam_fail_delay manual page.  Either the appl or
+  the modules header file will prototype this function.
+
+* added "bigcrypt" (DEC's C2) algorithm(0) to pam_pwdb. (Andy Phillips)
+
+* *BSD tweaking for various #include's etc. (pam_lastlog, pam_rhosts,
+  pam_wheel, libpam/pam_handlers). (Michael Smith)
+
+* added configuration directory $SCONFIGED for module specific
+  configuration files.
+
+* added two new "linked" man pages (pam.conf(8) and pam.d(8))
+
+* included a reasonable default for /etc/pam.conf (which can be
+  translated to /etc/pam.d/* files with the pam_conv1 binary)
+
+* fixed the names of the new configuration files in
+   conf/pam_conv1/pam_conv.y
+
+* fixed make check.
+
+* pam_lastlog fixed to handle UID in virgin part of /var/log/lastlog
+  (bug report from Ronald Wahl).
+
+* grammar fix in pam_cracklib
+
+* segfault avoided in pam_pwdb (getting user). Updating of passwords
+  that are directed to a "new" database are more robust now (bug noted
+  by Michael K. Johnson).  Added "unix" module argument for migrating
+  passwords from another database to /etc/passwd. (documentation
+  updated).  Removed "bad username []" warning for empty passwords -
+  on again if you supply the 'debug' module argument.
+
+* ctrl-D respected in conversation function (libpam_misc)
+
+* Removed -DPAM_FAIL_DELAY_ON from top-level Makefile. Nothing in
+  the distribution uses it.  I guess this change happened a while
+  back, basically I'm trying to make the module parts of the
+  distribution "source compatible" with the RFC definition of PAM.
+  This implementation of PAM is a superset of that definition. I have
+  added the following symbols to the Linux-PAM header files:
+
+	PAM_DATA_SILENT (see _pam_types.h)
+	HAVE_PAM_FAIL_DELAY (see _pam_types.h)
+	PAM_DATA_REPLACE (see _pam_modules.h)
+
+  Any module (or application) that wants to utilize these features,
+  should check (#ifdef) for these tokens before using the associated
+  functionality.  (Credit to Michael K. Johnson for pointing out my
+  earlier omission: not documenting this change :*)
+
+* first stab at making modules more independent of full library
+  source.  Modules converted:
+	pam_deny
+	pam_permit
+	pam_lastlog
+	pam_pwdb
+
+* pam_env.c: #include <errno.h> added to ease GNU libc use. (Michael
+  K. Johnson)
+
+* pam_unix_passwd fixes to shadow aging code (Eliot Frank)
+
+* added README for pam_tally
+
+0.57: Fri Apr  4 23:00:45 PST 1997  Andrew Morgan <morgan@parc.power.net>
+
+* added "nodelay" argument to pam_pwdb.  This can be used to turn off
+  the call to pam_fail_delay that takes effect when the user fails to
+  authenticate themself.
+
+* added "suppress" argument to pam_rhosts_auth module. This will stop
+  printing the "rlogin failure message" when the user does not have a
+  .rhosts file.
+
+* Extra fixes for FAKEROOT in Makefiles (Savochkin Andrey
+  Vladimirovich)
+
+* pam_tally added to tree courtesy of Tim Baverstock
+
+* pam_rhosts_auth was failing to read NFS mounted .rhosts
+  files. (Fixed by Peter Allgeyer). Refixed and further enhanced
+  (netgroups) by Nicolai Langfeldt. [Credit also to G.Wilford for some
+  changes that were not actually included..]
+
+* optional (#ifdef PAM_READ_BOTH_CONFS) support for parsing of pam.d/
+  AND pam.conf files (Elliot Lee).
+
+* Added (and signed) Cristian's PGP key. (I've never met him, but I am
+  convinced the key belongs to the guy that is making the PAM rpms and
+  also producing libpwdb. Please note, I will not be signing anyone
+  else's key without a personal introduction..)
+
+* fixed erroneous syslog warning in pam_listfile (Savochkin Andrey
+  Vladimirovich, whole file reformatted by Cristian)
+
+* modified pam_securetty to return PAM_IGNORE in the case that the user's
+  name is not known to the system (was previously, PAM_USER_UNKNOWN). The
+  Rationale is that pam_securetty's sole purpose is to prevent superuser
+  login anywhere other than at the console. It is not its concern that the
+  user is unknown - only that they are _not_ root. Returning
+  PAM_IGNORE, however, insures that the pam_securetty can never be used to
+  "authenticate" a non-existent user. (Cristian Gafton with bug report from
+  Roger Hu)
+
+* Modified pam_nologin to display the no-login message when the user
+  is not known. The return value in this case is still PAM_USER_UNKNOWN.
+  (Bug report from Cristian Gafton)
+
+* Added NEED_LCKPWD for pam_unix/ This is used to define the locking
+  functions and should only be turned on if you don't have them in
+  your libc.
+
+* tidied up pam_lastlog and pam_pwdb: removed function that was never used.
+
+* Note for package maintainers: I have added $(FAKEROOT) to the list of
+  environment variables.  This should help greatly when you build PAM
+  in a subdirectory.  I've gone through the tree and tried to make
+  everything compatible with it.
+
+* added pam_env (courtesy of Dave Kinchlea)
+
+* removed pam_passwd+ from the tree.  It has not been maintained in a
+  long time and running a shell script was basically insecure. I've
+  indicated where you can pick up the source if you want it.
+
+* #define HAVE_PAM_FAIL_DELAY . Applications can conditionally compile
+  with this if they want to see if the facility is available. It is
+  now always available. (corresponding compilation cleanups..)
+
+* _pam_sanitize() added to pam_misc. It purges the PAM_AUTHTOK and
+  PAM_OLDAUTHTOK items. (calls replaced in pam_auth and pam_password)
+
+* pam_rhosts now knows about the '+' entry. Since I think this is a
+  dangerous thing, I have required that the sysadmin supply the
+  "promiscuous" flag for it in the corresponding configuration file
+  before it will work.
+
+* FULL_LINUX_PAM_SOURCE_TREE exported from the top level make file.
+  If you want to build a module, you can test for this to determine if
+  it should take its directions from above or supply default locations
+  for installation. Etc.
+
+0.56: Sat Feb 15 12:21:01 PST 1997 <morgan@parc.power.net>
+
+* pam_handlers.c can now interpret the pam.d/ service config tree:
+	- if /etc/pam.d/ exists /etc/pam.conf is IGNORED
+	  (otherwise /etc/pam.conf is treated as before)
+	- given /etc/pam.d/
+	  . config files are named (in lower case) by service-name
+	  . config files have same syntax as /etc/pam.conf except
+	    that the "service-name" field is not present. (there
+	    are thus three manditory fields (and arguments are
+	    optional):
+
+		module-type  control-flag  module-path  optional-args...
+
+	    )
+
+* included conf/pam_conv1 for converting pam.conf to a pam.d/ version
+  1.0 directory tree. This program reads a pam.conf file on the
+  standard input stream and creates ./pam.d/ (in the local directory)
+  and fills it with ./pam.d/"service-name" files.
+
+	*> Note: It will fail if ./pam.d/ already exists.
+
+  PLEASE REPORT ANY BUGS WITH THIS CONVERSION PROGRAM... It currently
+  cannot retain comments from the old conf file, so take care to do this
+  by hand. Also, please email me with the fix that makes the
+  shift/reduce conflict go away...
+
+* Added default module path to libpam for modules (see pam_handlers.c)
+  it makes use of Makfile defined symbol: DEFAULT_MODULE_PATH which is
+  inhereted from the defs/* variable $(SECUREDIR). Removed module
+  paths from the sample pam.conf file as they are no longer needed.
+
+* pam_pwdb can now verify read protected passwords when it is not run
+  by root.  This is via a helper binary that is setuid root.
+
+* pam_permit now prompts for a username if it is not already determined
+
+* pam_rhosts now honors "debug" and no longer hardwire's "root" as the
+  superuser's name.
+
+* pam_securetty now honors the "debug" flag
+
+* trouble parsing extra spaces fixed in pam_time and pam_group
+
+* added Michael K. Johnson's PGP key to the pgp.keys.asc list
+
+* pam_end->env not being free()'d: fixed
+
+* manuals relocated to section 3
+
+* fixed bug in pam_mail.c, and enhanced to recognize '~' as a prefix
+  to indicate the $HOME of the user (courtesy David
+  Kinchlea). *Changed* from a "session" module to an "auth"
+  module. It cannot be used to authenticate a user, but it can be used
+  in setting credentials.
+
+* fixed a stupid bug in pam_warn.. Only PAM_SERVICE was being read :*(
+
+* pam_radius rewritten to exclusively make use of libpwdb. (minor fix
+  to Makefile for cleaning up - AGM)
+
+* pam_limits extended to limit the total number of logins on a system
+  at any given time.
+
+* libpam and libpam_misc use $(MAJOR_REL) and $(MINOR_REL) to set their
+  version numbers [defined in top level makefile]
+
+* bugfix in sed command in defs/redhat.defs (AGM's fault)
+
+* The following was related to a possibility of buffer overruns in
+  the syslogging code: removed fixed length array from syslogging
+  function in the following modules [capitalized the log identifier
+  so the sysadmin can "know" these are fixed on the local system],
+
+	pam_ftp, pam_stress, pam_rootok, pam_securetty,
+	pam_listfile, pam_shells, pam_warn, pam_lastlog
+  and
+	pam_unix_passwd (where it was definitely _not_ exploitable)
+
+0.55: Sat Jan  4 14:43:02 PST 1997, Andrew Morgan <morgan@parc.power.net>
+
+* added "requisite" control_flag to /etc/pam.conf syntax. [See
+  Sys. Admin. Guide for explanation] changes to pam_handlers.c
+
+* completely new handling of garbled pam.conf lines. The modus
+  operandi now is to assume that any errors in the line are minor.
+  Errors of this sort should *most definitely* lead to the module
+  failing, however, just ignoring the line (as was the case
+  previously) can lead to gaping security holes(! Not foreseen by the
+  RFC). The "motivation" for the RFC's comments about ignoring garbled
+  lines is present in spirit in the new code: basically a garbled line
+  is treated like an instance of the pam_deny.so module.
+  changes to pam_handlers.c and pam_dispatch.c .
+
+* patched libpam, to (a) call _pam_init_handlers from pam_start() and
+  (b) to log a text error if there are no modules defined for a given
+  service when a call to a module is requested. [pam_start() and
+  pam_dispatch() were changed].
+
+* patched pam_securetty to deal with "/dev/" prefix on PAM_TTY item.
+
+* reorganized the modules/Makefile to include *ALL* modules. It is now
+  the responsibility of the modules themselves to test whether they can
+  be compiled locally or not.
+
+* modified pam_group to add to the getgroups() list rather than overwrite
+  it. [In the case of "HAVE_LIBPWDB" we use the pwdb_..() calls to
+  translate the group names.]. Module now pays attention to
+  PAM_CRED_.. flag(!)
+
+* identified and removed bugs in field reading code of pam_time and
+  (thus) pam_group.
+
+* Cristian's patches to pam_listfile module, corresponding change to
+  documentation.
+
+* I've discovered &ero; for sgml!
+  Added pam_time documentation to the admin guide.
+
+* added manual pages: pam.8, pam_start.2(=pam_end.2),
+  pam_authenticate.2, pam_setcred.2, pam_strerror.2,
+  pam_open_session.2(=pam_close_session.2) and pam_chauthtok.2 .
+
+* added new modules:
+
+	- pam_mail (tells the user if they have any new mail
+	  and sets their MAIL env variable)
+	- pam_lastlog (reports on the last time this user called
+	  this module)
+
+* new module hooks provided.
+
+* added a timeout feature to the conversation function in
+  libpam_misc. Documented it in the application developers' guide.
+
+* fixed bug in pam_misc_paste_env() function..
+
+* slight modifications to wheel and rhosts writeup.
+
+* more security issues added to module and application guides.
+
+--
+Things present but not mentioned in previous release (sorry)
+
+* pam_pwdb module now resets the "last_change" entry before updating a
+  password.
+--
+
+Sat Nov 30 19:30:20 PST 1996, Andrew Morgan <morgan@parc.power.net>
+
+* added environment handling to libpam. involved change to _pam_types.h
+  also added supplementary functions to libpam_misc
+
+* added pam_radius - Cristian
+
+* slight speed up for pam_rhosts
+
+* significantly enhanced sys-admin documentation (8 p -> 41 p in
+  PostScript). Added to other documentation too.  Mostly the changes
+  in the other docs concern the new PAM-environment support, there is
+  also some coverage of libpam_misc in the App. Developers' guide.
+
+* Cristian's patches to pam_limits and pam_pwdb. Fixing bugs. (MORE added)
+
+* adopted Cristian's _pam_macros.h file to help with common macros and
+  debugging stuff, gone through tree tidying up debugging lines to use
+  this [not complete].
+
+	- for consistency replaced DROP() with _pam_drop()
+
+* commented memory debugging in top level makefile
+
+* added the following modules
+
+    - pam_warn	log information to syslog(3) about service application
+    - pam_ftp	if user is 'ftp' then set PAM_RUSER/PAM_RHOST with password
+    (comment about nologin added to last release's notes)
+
+* modified the pam_listfile module. It now declares a meaningful static
+  structure name.

+
+A brief summary of what has changed:
+
+* many modules have been modified to accomodate fixing the pam_get_user()
+  change. Please take note if you have a module in this distribution.
+
+* pam_unix is now the pam_unix that Red Hat has been using and which
+  should be fairly well debugged.
+
+   - I've added some #ifdef's to make it compile for me, and also
+     updated it with respect to the libpam-0.53, so have a look at the
+     .../modules/pam_unix/Makefile to enable cracklib and shadow features
+
+	** BECAUSE OF THIS, I cannot guarantee this code works as it **
+	** did for Red Hat. Please test and report any problems.     **
+
+* the pam_unix of .52 (renamed to pam_pwdb) has been enhanced and made
+  more flexible with by implementing it with respect to the new
+  "Password Database Library" see
+
+	http://parc.power.net/morgan/libpwdb/index.html
+
+  modules included in this release that require this library to
+  function are the following:
+
+	- pam_pwdb (ne pam_unix-0.52 + some enhancements)
+	- pam_wheel
+	- pam_limits
+	- pam_nologin
+
+* Added some optional code for memory debugging. In order to support
+  this you have to enable MEMORY_DEBUG in the top level makefile and
+  also #define MEMORY_DEBUG in your applications when they are compiled.
+  The extra code resides in libpam (compiled if MEMORY_DEBUG is defined)
+  and the macros for malloc etc. are to be found at the end of
+  _pam_types.h
+
+* used above code to locate two memory leaks in pam_unix module and two
+  in libpam (pam_handlers.h)
+
+* pam_get_user() now sets the PAM_USER item. After reading the Sun
+  manual page again, it was clear that it should do this. Various
+  modules have been assuming this and now I have modified most of them
+  to account for this change. Additionally, pam_get_user() is now
+  located in the module include file; modules are supposed to be the
+  ones that use it(!) [Note, this is explicitly contrary to the Sun
+  manual page, but in the spirit of the Linux distribution to date.]
+
+* replaced -D"LINUX" with -D"LINUX_PAM" as this is more explicit and less
+  likely to be confused with -D"linux".
+  Also, modified the libpam #include files to behave more like the Sun
+  ones #ifndef LINUX_PAM.
+
+* removed <bf/ .. / from documentation titles. This was not giving
+  politically correct html..

+
+1. I'm hoping to make the next release a bug-fix release... So please find
+   all the bugs(! ;^)
+
+2. here are the changes for .52:
+
+* minor changes to module documentation [Incidently, it is now
+  available on-line from the WWW page above]. More changes to follow in
+  the next two releases. PLEASE EMAIL me or the list if there is
+  anything that isn't clear!
+
+* completely changed the unix module. Now a single module for all four
+  management groups (this meant that I could define all functions as
+  static that were not part of the pam_sm_... scheme. AGM)
+
+  - Shadow support added
+PASSWD  - Elliot's account management included, and enhanced by Cristian Gafton.
+  - MD5 password support added by Cristian Gafton.
+  - maxtries for authentication now enforced.
+  - Password changing function in pam_unix now works!
+    Although obviously, I'm not going to *guarantee* it ;^) .
+  - stole Marek's locking code from the Red Hat unix module.
+    [ If you like you can #ifdef it in or out ... ]
+
+    You can configure the module more from its Makefile in
+    0.52/modules/pam_unix/
+
+    If you are nervous that it will destroy your /etc/passwd or shadow
+    files then EDIT the 0.52/modules/pam_unix/pam_unix_pass.-c file.
+    Here is the warning comment from this file...
+
+-------------8<-----------------
+/*                           <WARNING>
+ *
+ * Uncomment the following #define if you are paranoid, and do not
+ * want to risk losing your /etc/passwd or shadow files.
+ * It works for me (AGM) but there are no guarantees.
+ *
+ *                          </WARNING>
+ */
+/* #define TMP__FILE */
+------------->8-----------------
+
+  *** If anyone has any trouble, please *say*. Your problem will be
+      fixed in the next release. Also please feel free to scour the
+      code for race conditions etc...
+
+[* The above change requires that you purge your /usr/lib/security
+   directory of the old pam_unix_XXX.so modules: they will NOT be deleted
+   with a 'make remove'.]
+
+* the prototype for the cleanup function supplied to pam_set_data used
+  to return "int". According to Sun it should be "void". CHANGED.
+
+* added some definitions for the 'error_status' mask values that are
+  passed to the cleanup function associated with each
+  module-data-item. These numbers were needed to keep up with changing
+  a data item (see for example the code in pam_unix/support.-c that
+  manages the maximum number of retries so far). Will see what Sun says
+  (current indications are positive); this may be undone before 1.0 is
+  released.  Here are the definitions (from pam_modules.h).
+
+#define PAM_DATA_SILENT    0x40000000     /* used to suppress messages... */
+#define PAM_DATA_REPLACE   0x20000000     /* used when replacing a data item */
+
+* Changed the .../conf/pam.conf file. It now points to the new
+  pam_unix module for 'su' and 'passwd' [can get these as SimpleApps --
+  I use them for testing. A more extensive selection of applications is
+  available from Red Hat...]
+
+* corrected a bug in pam_dispatch. Basically, the problem was that if
+  all the modules were "sufficient" then the return value for this
+  function was never set. The net effect was that _pam_dispatch_aux
+  returned success when all the sufficient modules failed. :^( I think
+  this is the correct fix to a problem that the Red Hat folks had
+  found...
+
+sopwith* Removed advisory locking from libpam (thanks for the POSIX patch
+  goes to Josh Wilmes's, my apologies for not using it in the
+  end.). Advisory locking did not seem sufficiently secure for libpam.
+  Thanks to Werner Almesberger for identifying the corresponding "denial
+  of service attack". :*(
+
+* related to fix, have introduced a lock file /var/lock/subsys/PAM
+  that can be used to indicate the system should pay attention to
+  advisory locking on /etc/pam.conf file. To implement this you need to
+  define PAM_LOCKING though. (see .52/libpam)
+
+* modified pam_fail_delay() function. Couldn't find the "not working"
+  problem indicated by Michael, but modified it to do pseudo-random
+  delays based on the values indicated by pam_fail_delay() -- the
+  function "that may eventually go away"... Although Sun is warming to
+  the idea.
+
+* new modules include:
+
+	pam_shells    - authentication for users with a shell listed in
+			/etc/shells. Erik Troan <ewt@redhat.com>
+
+	pam_listfile  - authentication based on the contents of files.
+			Set to be more general than the above in the
+			future. UNTESTED. Elliot Lee <@redhat.com>
+			[Note, this module compiles with a non-trivial
+			warning: AGM]
+
+Thu Aug  8 22:32:15 PDT 1996 (Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu>)
+
+* modified makefiles to take more of their installation instructions
+  from the top level makefile. Desired for integration into the Debian
+  distribution, and generally a good idea.
+
+* fixed memory arithmetic in pam_handlers
+  -- still need to track down why failure to load modules can lead to
+  authentication succeding..
+
+* added tags for new modules (smartcards from Alex -- just a promise
+  at this stage) and a new module from Elliot Lee; pam_securetty
+
+* I have not had time to smooth out the wrinkles with it, but Alex's
+  pam_unix modifications are provided in pam_unix-alex (in the modules
+  directory) they will not be compiled by 'make all' and I can't even
+  say if they do compile... I will try to look at them for .52 but, in
+  the mean time please feel free to study/fix/discuss what is there.
+
+* pam_rhosts module. Removed code for manually setting the ruser
+  etc. This was not very secure.
+
+* [remade .ps docs to be in letter format -- my printer complains
+  about a4]
+
+Sunday July, 7 12:45:00 PST 1996 (Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu>)
+
+* No longer accompanying the Linux-PAM release with apps installed.
+  [Will provide what was here in a separate package.. (soon)
+lib   Also see http://www.redhat.com/pam for some more (in .rpm form...)]
+
+* renamed libmisc to libpam_misc. It is currently configured to only compile
+  the static library. For some strange reason (perhaps someone can
+  investigate) my Linux 2.0.0 kernel with RedHat 3.0.3 system
+  segfaults when I compile it to be a dynamic library. The segfault
+  seems to be inside the call to the ** dl_XXX ** function...!?
+
+  There is a simple flag in the libpam_misc/Makefile to turn on dynamic
+  compiles.
+
+* Added a little unofficial code for delay support in libpam (will probably
+  disappear later..) There is some documentation for it in the pam_modules
+  doc now. That will obviously go too.
+
+* rewritten pam_time to use *logic* to specify the stringing together of
+  users/times/terminals etc.. (what was there before was superficially
+  logical but basically un-predictable!)
+
+* added pam_group. Its syntax is almost identical to pam_time but it
+  has another field added; a list of groups to make the user a member
+  of if they pass the previous tests. It seems to not co-exist too well
+  with the groups in the /etc/group but I hope to have that fixed by
+  the next release...
+
+* minor re-formatting of pam_modules documentation
+
+* removed ...// since it wasn't being used and didn't look like it
+  would be!
+
+GCCSunday 23 22:35:00 PST 1996   (Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu>)
+
+* The major change is the addition of a new module: pam_time for
+  restricting access on terminals at given times for indicated users
+  it comes with its own configuration file /etc/security/time.conf
+  and the sample file simply restricts 'you' from satisfying the blank
+  application if they try to use blank from any tty*
+
+* Small changes include
+- altered pam.conf to demonstrate above new module (try typing username: you)
+- very minor changes to the docs (pam_appl and pam_modules)
+
+Saturday June 2 01:40:00 PST 1996  (Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu>)
+
+*** PLEASE READ THE README, it has changed ***
+
+* NOTE, 'su' exhibits a "system error", when static linking is
+  used. This is because the pam_unix_... module currently only has
+  partial static linking support. This is likely to change on Monday
+  June 3, when Alex makes his latest version availible. I will include
+  the updated module in next release.
+
+changes for .42:
+
+* modified the way in which libpam/pam_modules.h defines prototypes for
+  the pam_sm_ functions. Now the module must declare which functions it
+  is to provide *before* the #include <security/pam_modules.h> line.
+  (for contrasting examples, see the pam_deny and pam_rootok modules)
+  This removed the ugly hack of defining functions that are never called
+  to overcome  warnings... This seems much tidier.
+insterted* updated the TODO list. (changed mailing list address)
+* updated README in .../modules to reflect modifications to static
+  compliation protocol
+* modified the pam_modules documentation to describe this.
+* corrected last argument of pam_get_item( ... ) in
+  pam_appl/modules.sgml, to "const void **".
+* altered GNU GPL's in the documentation, and various other parts of
+  the distribution. *Please check* that any code you are responsible for
+  is corrected.
+* Added ./Copyright (please check that it is acceptable)
+* updated ./README to make current and indicate the new mailing list
+  address
+* have completely rewritten pam_filter. It now runs modular filter
+  executables (stored in /usr/sbin/pam_filter/) This should make it
+  trivial for others to write their own filters.. If you want yours
+  included in the distribution please email the list/me.
+* changes to libpam; there was a silly bug with multiple arguments on a
+  pam.conf line that was broken with a '\<LF>'.
+* 'su' rearranged code (to make better use of PAM)
+  *Also* now uses POSIX signals--this should help the Alpha port.
+* 'passwd' now uses getlogin() to determine who's passwords to change.
+
+Sunday May 26 9:00:00 PST 1996 (Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu>)
+
+* fixed module makefiles to create needed dynamic/static subdirectories
+
+Saturday May 25 20:30:27.8 PST 1996 (Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu>)
+
+* LOTS has changed regarding how the modules/libpam are built.
+*  Michael's mostly complete changes for static support--see below
+  (Andrew got a little carried away and automated the static linking
+  of modules---bugs are likely mine ;( )
+* Thanks mostly to Michael, libpam now compiles without a single warning :^]
+* made static modules/library optional.
+CFLAGS* added 'make sterile' to top level makefile. This does extraclean and remove
+* added Michael and Joseph to documentation credits (and a subsection for
+  future documentation of static module support in pam_modules.sgml)
+* libpam; many changes to makefiles and also automated the inclusion of
+  static module objects in pam_static.c
+* modified modules for automated static/dynamic support. Added static &
+  dynamic subdirectories, as instructed by Michael
+* removed an annoying syslog message from pam_filter: "parent exited.."
+* updated todo list (anyone know anything about svgalib/X? we probably should
+  have some support for these...)
+
+Friday May 24 16:30:15 EDT 1996 (Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@redhat.com>)
+
+* Added first (incomplete) cut at static support.
+  This includes:
+   . changes in libpam, including a new file, pam_static.c
+   . changes to modules including exporting struct of function pointers
+   . static and dynamic linking can be combined
+   . right now, the only working combinations are just dynamic
+     linking and dynamic libpam.so with static modules linked
+     into libpam.so.  That's on the list of things to fix...
+   . modules are built differently depending on whether they
+     are static or dynamic.  Therefore, there are two directories
+     under each module directory, one for static, and one for
+     dynamic modules.
+* Fixed random brokenness in the Makefiles.  [ foo -nt bar ] is
+  rather redundant in a makefile, for instance.  Also, passing
+   on the command line is broken because it cannot be
+  overridden in any way (even adding important parts) in lower-level
+  makefiles.
+* Unfortunately, fixing some of the brokenness meant that I used
+  GNU-specific stuff.  However, I *think* that there was GNU-specific
+  stuff already.  And I think that we should just use the GNU
+  extensions, because any platform that GNU make doesn't port to
+  easily will be hard to port to anyway.  It also won't be likely
+passwd  to handle autoconf, which was Ted's suggestion for getting
+  around limitations in standard make...
+  For now, I suggest that we just use some simple GNU-specific
+  extensions.

+Monday May 20 22:00:00 PST 1996 (Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu>)
+
+* added some text to pam_modules.sgml
+* corrected Marek's name in all documentation
+* made pam_stress conform to chauthtok conventions -- ie can now request
+  old password before proceeding.
+* included Alex's latest unix module
+* included Al's + password strength checking module
+* included pam_rootok module
+* fixed too many bugs in libpam.. all subtly related to the argument lists
+  or use of syslog. Added more debugging lines here too.
+* fixed the pam.conf file
+* deleted pam_test module. It is pretty old and basically superceeded
+  by pam_stress
+
+Friday May 9 1:00:00 PST 1996 (Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu>)
+
+* updated documentaion, added Al Longyear to credits and corrected the
+  spelling of Jeff's name(!). Most changes to pam.sgml (even added a figure!)
+* new module pam_rhosts_auth (from Al Longyear)
+* new apps rlogind and ftpd (a patch) from Al.
+* modified 'passwd' to not call pam_authenticate (note, none of the
+  modules respect this convention yet!)
+* fixed bug in libpam that caused trouble if the last line of a
+  pam.conf file ends with a module name and no newline character
+* also made more compatable with documentation, in that bad lines in
+  pam.conf are now ignored rather than causing libpam to return an
+  error to the app.
+* libpam now overwrites the AUTHTOKs when returning from
+  pam_authenticate and pam_chauthtok calls (as per Sun/RFC too)
+* libpam is now installed as libpam.so.XXX in a way that ldconfig can
+  handle!
+
+
+Wednesday May 1 22:00:00 PST 1996 (Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu>)
+
+* removed .../test directory, use .../examples from now on.
+* added .../apps directory for fully functional applications
+  - the apps directory contains directories that actually contain the apps.
+    the idea is to make application compilation conditional on the presence
+    of the directory. Note, there are entries in the Makefile for
+    'login' and 'ftpd' that are ready for installation... Email me if
+    you want to reserve a directory name for an application you are
+    working on...
+* similar changes to .../modules makefile [entries for pam_skey and
+  pam_kerberos created---awaiting the directories.] Email me if you
+  want to register another module...
+* minor changes to docs.. Not really worth reprinting them quite yet!
+  [save the trees]
+* added misc_conv to libmisc. it is a generic conversation function
+  for text based applications. [would be nice to see someone create
+  an Xlib and/or svgalib version]
+* fixed ctrl-z/c bug with pam_filter module [try xsh with the default
+  pam.conf file]
+* added 'required' argument to 'pam_stress' module.
+* added a TODO list... other suggestions to the list please.
+
+Saturday April 7 00:00:00 PST 1996 ( Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu> )
+
+* Alex and Marek please note I have altered _pam_auth_unix a little, to
+  make it get the passwords with the "proper method" (and also fixed it
+  to not have as many compiler warnings)
+* updated the conf/pam.conf file
+* added new example application examples/xsh.c (like blank but invokes
+  /bin/sh)
+* Marc's patches for examples/blank.c (and AGM's too)
+* fixed stacking of modules in libpam/pam_handlers.c
+* fixed RESETing in libpam/pam_item.c
+* added new module modules/pam_filter/ to demonstrate the possibility
+  of inserting an arbitrary filter between the terminal and the
+  application that could do customized logging etc... (see use of
+  bin/xsh as defined in conf/pam.conf)
+

+
+These notes are for 0.3 I don't think I've left anything important
+out, but I will use emacs 'C-x v a' next time! (Thanks Jeff)
+
+	* not much has changed with the functionality of the Linux-PAM lib
+	  .../libpam
+		- pam_password calls module twice with different arguments
+		- added const to some of the function arguments
+		- added PAM_MAX_MES_ to <security/_pam_types.h>
+		- was a lot over zealous about purging old passwords...
+		  I have removed much of this from source to make it
+		  more compatible with SUN.
+		- moved some PAM_... tokens to pam_modules.h from _pam_types.h
+		  (no-one should notice)
+
+	* added three modules: pam_permit pam_deny pam_stress
+	  no prizes for guessing what the first two do. The third is
+	  a reasonably complete (functional) module. Is intended for testing
+	  applications with.
+
+	* fixed a few pieces of examples/blank.c so that it works (with
+	  pam_stress)
+
+	* ammended the documentation. Looking better, but suggestions/comments
+	  very welcome!
+
+Sunday March 10 10:50:00 PST 1996 ( Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu> )
+
+These notes are for Linux-PAM release 0.21.  They cover what's changed
+since I relased 0.2.
+
+	* am now using RCS
+	* substantially changed ./README
+	* fixed bug reading \\\n in pam.conf file
+	* small changes to documentation
+	* added `blank' application to ./examples (could be viewed as
+	  a `Linux-PAM aware' application template.)
+	* oops. now including pam_passwd.o and pam_session.o in pamlib.so
+	* compute md5 checksums for all the source when making a release
+	    - added `make check' and `make RCScheck' to compute md5 checksums
+	* create a second tar file with all the RCS files in.
+	* removed the .html and .txt docs, supplying sgml sources instead.
+	    - see README for info on where to get .ps files
+
+Thursday March 6 0:44:?? PST 1996 ( Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu> )
+
+These notes are for Linux-PAM release 0.2.  They cover what's changed
+since Marc Ewing relased 0.1.
+
+**** Please note. All of the directories in this release have been modified
+**** slightly to conform to the new pamlib. A couple of new directories have
+**** been added. As well as some documentation. If some of your code
+**** was in the previous release. Feel free to update it, but please
+**** try to conform to the new headers and Makefiles.
+
+* Andrew Morgan (morgan@physics.ucla.edu) is making this release
+ availible, Marc has been busy...!
+
+* Marc's pam-0.1/lib has been (quietly) enhanced and integrated into
+ Alex Yurie's collected tree of library and module code
+ (linux-pam.prop.1.tar.gz). Most of the changes are to do with error
+ checking. Some more robustness in the reading of the pam.conf file
+ and the addition of the pam_get_user() function.
+
+* The pam_*.h files have been reorganized to logically enforce the
+ separation of modules from applications. [Don't panic! Apart from
+ changing references of the form
+
+	#include "pam_appl.h"
+
+ to
+
+	#include <security/pam_appl.h>
+
+ The reorganization should be backwardly compatable (ie. a module
+ written for SUN will be as compatable as it was before with the
+ previous version ;)~ ]
+
+ (All of the source in this tree now conforms to this scheme...)
+
+ The new reorganization means that modules can be compiled with a
+ single header, <security/pam_modules.h>, and applications with
+ <security/pam_appl.h>.
+
+* I have tried to remove all the compiler warnings from the updated
+ "pamlib/*.c" files. On my system, (with a slightly modified <dlfcn.h>
+ email me if it interests you..) there are only two warnings that
+ remain: they are that ansi does not permit void --> fn ptr
+ assignment. K&Rv2 doesn't mention this....? As a matter of principle,
+ if anyone knows how to get rid of that warning... please
+ tell. Thanks! "-pedantic"
+
+* you can "make all" as a plain user, but
+
+* to "make install" you must be root. The include files are placed in
+ /usr/include/security. The libpam.so library is installed in /usr/lib
+ and the modules in /usr/lib/security. The two test binaries
+ are installed in the Linux-PAM-0.2/bin directory and a chance is given to
+ replace your /etc/pam.conf file with the one in Linux-PAM-0.2/conf.
+
+* I have included some documentation (pretty preliminary at the
+moment) which I have been working on in .../doc .
+
+I have had a little trouble with the modules, but atleast there are no
+segfaults! Please try it out and discuss your results... I actually
+hope it all works for you. But, Email any bugs/suggestions to the
+Linux-PAM list: linux-pam@mit.edu .....
+
+Regards,
+

+
+	* conf directory created with example of pam_conf
+	* stable code from pam_unix is added to modules/pam_unix
+	* test/test.c now requests username and password and attempts
+	  to perform authentication
