0.76: please submit patches for this section with actual code/doc
patches!
+* 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, and also modified the
+ pam_rhosts_auth module to use this new library. (Bug 490938,
+ 409852 - agmorgan)
+* documentation: random typo fixes from Nalin and more stuff from me
+ (Bug 476949, Tasks 43507, 17426 - 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)
+* 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 (Bug 476990, 476987 -
+ 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. (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)

Makefile dependency) motivated by a (red hat diff) courtesy of Harald
