Just FYI, a few weeks ago I merged and re-diffed all of the Debian patches for 0.79 against the latest upstream PAM, 0.99.7.1. You can find the source package here: http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/pam/ However, there's at least one bug in there that's preventing it working properly. It's likely there has been a trivial error when hand-merging all of the old patches. It's also possible that they need more work to work with the new PAM; I've re-done the patches where needed, but it's possible that the internals have changed sufficiently that it's broken. Unfortunately, I'm too busy right at the moment to spend enough time on debugging it and/or re-verifying all of the new diffs. If you, or anyone else, has any free time and wants to push the latest PAM into unstable, this is something that could use some attention. If you're bored at DebConf, this could be the thing for you! The easiest way to get started is to compile a debugging version of libpam and install it. NOTE: Install into a chroot or you will knacker your main system (you won't get to log in again!).
