passwd(1) and PAM
This seems to be almost a FAQ judging by the number of open/suspended PRs over
several years, and the enquiry on this list back in March 2007 - but I
haven't been able to find an answer yet.
Looking at /usr/src/usr.bin/passwd/passwd.c, it seems that passwd(1) was
rewritten four years ago to use the PAM infrastructure (with options -l, -o
and -y not actually doing anything any more).
It seems to be prevented from using, eg, pam_ldap, by the switch statement
which uses constants defined in pam.h but commented there to be ``bogus''.
1. Is there any reason not to patch passwd.c locally, replacing the switch
statement with printf and a single message?
2. When is this likely to make it into the official sources?
I'm in a mixed environment and looking at using LDAP for account information
with pam_pgina for Windows users.
Oh, and if the answer is ``send a patch'', just let me know where!
