+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.)

+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)
+* 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)

+ 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 glibc-2.2.2 compilation of pam_issue (Bug 133542 - 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).

+* 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).
+

+ agmorgan).
