+* 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).

+* 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.
