+=======================================================================
-----------------------------
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..
- - remove prototype for gethostname in pam_access.c (Derrick)
- document PAM_INCOMPLETE changes
- verify that the PAM_INCOMPLETE interface is sensible. Can we
catch errors? should we permit item changing etc., between
- verify that the PAM_INCOMPLETE interface works (auth seems ok..)
- add PAM_INCOMPLETE support to modules (partially added to pam_pwdb)
- work on RFC.
- - do we still need to remove openlog/closelog from modules..?
- 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..."
- - add in the pam_cap and pam_netid modules
====================================================================
-Note, as of release 0.73, all checkins should be accompanied with a
-Bug ID. The bug IDs relate to sourceforge IDs.. (Of course, nothing is
-ever that simple. It turns out that at some point in Sourceforge's
-history all of the bug ids got bumped by 100000, so pretty much if you
-see a bug ID below that begins with a '1' and your attempted query
-fails, try adding 100000 to the number and trying again. I believe
-this only affects bugs before release 0.76.)
-
-You can query the related bug description with the following URL:
-
- http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=XXXXXX&group_id=6663&atid=106663
-
-Where you should replace XXXXXX with a bug-id.
-
-For general documentation completion work, I'm doing it all with
-respect to specific tasks. Open tasks are listed here:

+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_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
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, and also modified the
- pam_rhosts_auth module to use this new library. (Bug 490938,
- 409852 - agmorgan)
+ 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
* 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. (Bug 424315 - agmorgan)
+ 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
