=======================================================================

-----------------------------

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..."

====================================================================

  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

* 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)

  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

* 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)

  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)

  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()

* 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 124386 - baggins)

* fixed example/Makefile include path (Bug 124187, 127563(?) - agmorgan)

* pam_userdb compiles on RH5x. Also removed circular dependency on

  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

* 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)

* 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 -

  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

 - 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.
