+-----------------------------
+
+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_limits: applied patch to allow explicit limits for root

+* 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)

+ (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).
+
+0.75: Sat Apr 7 23:10:50 PDT 2001
+
+ ** WARNING **
+
+This release contains backwardly incompatible changes to
+libpam. Prior versions were buggy - see bugfix for Bug 129775.
+
+ ** WARNING **
+
+* made 0.75 release (Bug 414665 - agmorgan)
+* pam_pwdb has been removed from the suggested pam.conf template. I've
+ replaced it with pam_unix. (Bug 227565 - agmorgan)
+* pam_limits - Richard M. Yumul reported that "<domain> -" didn't
+ work, first fix suggested by Werner Puschitz (Bug 404953 - agmorgan)
+* Nicolay Pelov suggested a simple fix for freebsd support (Bug 407282
+ - agmorgan)
+* Michel D'HOOGE submitted documentation fixes (Bug 408961 - agmorgan)
+* fix for module linking directions (Bug 133545 - agmorgan)
+* fix for glibc-2.2.2 compilation of pam_issue (Bug 133542 - 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()

+ 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

+* 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

+
+* 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)

+* 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)

+
+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.

+
+* 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!

+
+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

+
+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,
+
