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).

(Bug 565470 - - agmorgan). -* absorbed some of the proposed darwin (OS X) changes from Luke Howard - (of PADL software) - hopefully will get the rest (see Rob Braun's - 534205) by 0.77 (Bug 491466 - agmorgan). -* README fix for pam_unix from Nalin (Bug 476971 - agmorgan). -* add support for building pdf files from the documentation - request - from 'lolive' (Bug 471377 - agmorgan). -* documented the equivalent '[..]' expressions for "required" - etc. Request from Ross Patterson (Bug 529078 - agmorgan). -* '[...]' parsing: document it and also fix it to support '\]' escape - sequence.

(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 (added a simple shell wrapper - for running xsh with the sandbox libraries), and also modified the - pam_rhosts_auth module to use this new library.

[This needs - to be better supported perhaps by an additional libpamc API function?] -* pam_userdb segfault fix from (Ben Collins) -* PAM draft spec extras added at request of 'sen_ml' - -0.71: Sun Nov 7 20:21:19 PST 1999 - -* added -lc to linker pass for pam_nologin module (glibc is weird). -* various header changes to lower the number of warnings on glibc - systems (Dan Yefimov) -* merged a bunch of Debian fixes/patches/documentation (Ben Collins) - things touched: libpam (minor); doc/modules/pam_unix.sgml; pam_env - (plus docs); pam_mkhomedir (new module for new home directories on - the fly...); pam_motd (new module); pam_limits (adjust to match - docs); pam_issue (new module + doc) [Some of these were also - submitted by Thorsten Kukuk] -* small hack to lower the number of warnings that pam_client.h was - generating. -* debian and SuSE apparently can use the pam_ftp module, so - removed the obsolete comment about this from the docs. (Thorsten - Kukuk) - -0.70: Fri Oct 8 22:05:30 PDT 1999 - -* bug fix for parsing of value=action tokens in libpam/pam_misc.c was - segfaulting (Jan Rekorajski and independently Matthew Melvin) -* numerous fixes from Thorsten Kukuk (icluding much needed fixes for - bitrot in modules and some documentation) that got included in SuSE 6.2. -* reentrancy issues in pam_unix and pam_cracklib resolved (Jan Rekorajski) -* added hosts_equiv_rootok module option to pam_rhosts module (Tim Berger) -* added comment about 'expose_account' module argument to admin and - module writers' docs (request from Michael K Johnson). -* myriad of bug fixes for libpamc - library now built by default and - works with the biomouse fingerprint scanner agent/module - (distributed separately). - -0.69: Sun Aug 1 20:25:37 PDT 1999 - -* c++ header #ifdef'ing for pam_appl.h (Tuomo Pyhala) -* added pam_userdb module (Cristian Gafton) -* minor documentation changes -* added in revised pam_client library (libpamc). Not installed by - default yet, since the example agent/module combo is not very secure. -* glibc fixes (Thorsten Kukuk, Adam J.

Documented this in app developer guide. -* documentation for pam_access from Tim Berger -* syntax fixes for the documentation - a long time since I've built it :*( - added some more names to the CREDITS file. - -0.67: Sat Jun 19 14:01:24 PDT 1999 - -* [dropped libpam_client - libpamc will be in the next release and - conforms to the developing spec in doc/specs/draft-morgan-pam.raw. - Sorry if you are keeping a PAM tree in CVS. CVS is a pain for - directories, but this directory was actually not referenced by - anything so the disruption should be light.] -* updates to pam_tally from Tim -* multiple updates from Stephen Langasek to pam_unix -* pam_filter had some trouble compiling (bug report from Sridhar) -* pam_wheel now attempts to identify the wheel group for the local - system instead of blindly assuming it is gid=0. In the case that - there is no "wheel" group, we default to assuming gid=0 is what was - meant - former behavior. (courtesy of Sridhar) -* NIS+ changes to pam_unix module from Dmitry O Panov -* hopefully, a fix for redefinition of LOG_AUTHPRIV (bug report Luke - Kenneth Casson Leighton) -* fix for minor typo in pam_wheel documentation (Jacek Kopecky) -* slightly more explanation of the [x=y] pam.conf syntax in the sys - admin guide. - -0.66: Mon Dec 28 20:22:23 PST 1998 <morgan@linux.kernel.org> - -* Started using cvs to keep track of changes to Linux-PAM. This will - likely break some of the automated building stuff (RPMs etc..). -* security bug fix to pam_unix and pam_tally from Andrey. -* modules make file is now more automatic. It should be possible to - unpack an external module in the modules directory and have it automatically - added to the build process. Also added a modules/download-all script - that will make such downloading easier. I'm happy to receive patches to - this file, informing the distribution of places from which to enrich itself. -* removed pam_system_log stuff. Thought about it long and hard: a - bad idea. If libc cannot guarantee a thread safe syslog, it needs - to be fixed and compatibility with other PAM libraries was - unnecessarily strained. -* SAG documentation changes: Seth Chaiklin -* rhosts: problems with NIS lookup failures with the root-uid check. - As a work-around, I've partially eliminated the need for the lookup - by supplying two new arguments: no_uid_check, superuser=<username>. - As a general rule this is more pluggable, since this module might be - used as an authentication scheme for a network service that does not - need root privilege... -* authenticate retval -> setcred for pam_pwdb (likeauth arg). -* pam_pwdb event driven support -* non openlog pam_listfile logging -* BUGFIX: close filedescriptor in pam_group and pam_time (Emmanuel Galanos) -* Chris Adams' mailhash change for pam_mail module -* fixed malloc failure check in pam_handlers.c (follow up to comment - by Brad M. Garcia). -* update to _pam_compat.h (Brad M. Garcia) -* support static modules in libpam again (Brad M. Garcia) -* libpam/pam_misc.c for egcs to grok the code (Brad M. Garcia) -* added a solaris-2.5.1 defs file (revived by Derrick J Brashear) -* pam_listfile logs failed attempts -* added a comment (Michael K Johnson pointed it out) about sgml2latex - having a new syntax. I'll make it the change real when I upgrade... -* a little more text to the RFC, spelling fix from William J Buffam. -* minor changes to pam_securetty to accommodate event driven support. - -0.65: Sun Apr 5 22:29:09 PDT 1998 <morgan@linux.kernel.org> - -* added event driven programming extensions to libpam - - added PAM_INCOMPLETE handling to libpam/pam_dispatch.c - - added PAM_CONV_AGAIN which is a new conversation response that - should be mapped to PAM_INCOMPLETE by the module. - - ensured that the pam_get_user() function can resume - - changes to pam_strerror to accommodate above return codes - - clean up _pam_former_state at pam_end() - - ensured that former state is correctly initialized - - added resumption tests to pam_authenticate(), pam_chauthtok() - - added PAM_FAIL_DELAY item for pausing on failure - -* improved _pam_macros.h so that macros can be used as single commands - (Andrey) - -* reimplemented logging to avoid bad interactions with libc. Added - new functions, pam_[,v]system_log() to libpam's API. A programmer - can check for this function's availablility by checking if - HAVE_PAM_SYSTEM_LOG is #defined. - -* removed the reduce conflict from pam_conv1 creation -- I can sleep - again now. :^] - -* made building of static and dynamic libpam separate. This is - towards making it possible to build both under Solaris (for Derrick) - -* made USE_CRACKLIB a condition in unix module (Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton) - -* automated (quiet) config installation (Andrey) - -0.64: Thu Feb 19 23:30:24 PST 1998 Andrew Morgan <morgan@linux.kernel.org> - -* miscellaneous patches for building under Solaris (Derrick J Brashear) - -* removed STATIC support from a number of module Makefiles. Notably, - these modules are those that use libpwdb and caused difficulties - satisfying the build process. (Please submit patches to fix this...;) - -* reomved the union for binary packet conversations from - (_pam_types.h). This is now completely implemented in libpam_client. - -* Andrey's patch for working environment variable handling in - sh_secret module. - -* made the libpam_misc conversation function a bit more flexible with - respect to binary conversations. - -* added top level define (DEBUG_REL) for compiling in the form of - a debugging release. I use this on a Red Hat 4.2 system with little - chance of crashing the system as a whole. (Andrey has another - implementation of this -- with a spec file to match..) - -0.63: Wed Jan 28 22:55:30 PST 1998 Andrew Morgan <morgan@linux.kernel.org> - -* added libpam_client "convention" library. This makes explicit the - use of PAM_BINARY_PROMPT. It is a first cut, so don't take it too - seriously yet. Comments/suggestions for improvements are very - welcome. Note, this library does not compile by default. It will - be enabled when it is judged stable. The library comes with two - module/agent pairs and can be used with ssh using a patch available - from my pre-release directory [where you got this file.] - -* backward compatibility patch for libpam/pam_handlers.c (PAM_IGNORE - was working with neither "requistie" nor "required") and a DEBUG'ing - compile time bug with pam_dispatch.c (Savochkin Andrey Vladimirovich) - -* minor Makefile change from (Savochkin Andrey Vladimirovich) - -* added pam_afsauth, pam_afspass, pam_restrict, and pam_syslog hooks - (Derrick J Brashear) - -* pam_access use of uname(2) problematic (security problem - highlighted by Olaf Kirch). - -* pam_listfile went a bit crazy reading group membersips (problem - highlighted by Olaf Kirch and patched independently by Cristian - Gafton and Savochkin Andrey Vladimirovich) - -* compatibility hooks for solaris and hpux (Derrick J Brashear) - -* 64 bit Linux/alpha bug fixed in pam_rhosts (Andrew D. Isaacson) - -0.62: Wed Jan 14 14:10:55 PST 1998 Andrew Morgan <morgan@linux.kernel.org> - -* Derrick J Brashear's patches: adds the HP stuff missed in the first - patch; adds SunOS support; adds support for the Solaris native ld - instead of requiring gnu ld. - -* last line of .rhosts file need not contain a newline. (Bug reported by - Thompson Freeman.) - -0.61: Thu Jan 8 22:57:44 PST 1998 Andrew Morgan <morgan@linux.kernel.org> - -* complete rewrite of the "control flag" logic. Formerly, we were - limited to four flags: requisite, required, sufficient, optional. - We can now use these keywords _and_ a great deal more besides. - The extra logic was inspired by Vipin Samar, a preliminary patch was - written by Andy Berkheimer, but I "had some ideas of my own" and - that's what I've actually included. The basic idea is to allow the - admin to custom build a control flag with a series of token=value - pairs inside square brackets. Eg., '[default=die success=ok]' which - is pretty close to a synonym for 'requisite'. I'll try to document it - better in the sys-admin guide but I'm pretty sure it is a change for - the better.... If what is in the sys-admin guide is not good enough - for you, just take a look at the source for libpam ;^) - -0.59: Thu Jan 8 22:27:22 PST 1998 Andrew Morgan <morgan@linux.kernel.org> - -* better handling of empty lines in .rhosts file. (Formerly, we asked - the nameserver about them!) Fix from Hugh Daschbach. - -* _broke_some_binary_compatibility_ with previous versions to become - compliant with X/Open's XSSO spec. Specifically, this has been - by changing the prototype for pam_strerror(). - -* altered the convention for the conversation mechanism to agree - with that of Sun. (number of responses 'now=' number of messages - with help from Cristian for finding a bug.. Cristian also found a - nasty speradic segfault bug -- Thanks!) - -* added NIS+ support to pam_unix_* - -* fixed a "regular file checking" problem with the ~/.rhosts sanity - check. Added "privategroup" option to permit group write permission - on the ~/.rhosts file in the case that the group owner has the same - name as the authenticating user. :*) "promiscuous" and "suppress" - were not usable! - -* added glibc compatibility to pam_rhosts_auth (protected __USE_MISC - with #ifndef since my libc already defines it!). - -* Security fix from Savochkin Andrey Vladimirovich with suggested - modification from Olaf Seibert. - -* preC contains mostly code clean-ups and a number of changes to - _pam_macros. - -0.58: whenever - -* pam_getenvlist() has a more robust definition (XSSO) than was previously - thought. It would seem that we no longer need pam_misc_copy_env() - which was there to provide the robustness that pam_getenvlist() - lacked before... - - Accordingly, I have REMOVED the prototype from libpam_misc. (The - function, however, will remain in the library as a wrapper for - legacy apps, but will likely be removed from libpam_misc-1.0.) PLEASE - FIX YOUR APPS *BEFORE* WE GET THERE! - -* Alexy Nogin reported garbage output from pam_env in the case of - a non-existent environment variable. - -* 'fixed' pwdb compilation for pam_wheel. Not very cleanly - done.. Mmmm. Should really clean up the entire source tree... - -* added prototypes for mapping functions - - <**WARNING**> - - various constants have had there names changed. Numerical values have - been retained but be aware some source old modules/applications will - need to be fixed before recompilation. - - </**WARNING**> - -* appended documentation to README for pam_rhosts module (Nicolai - Langfeldt). - -* verified X/Open compatibility of header files - note, where we differ - it is at the level of compilation warnings and the use of 'const char *' - instead of 'char *'. Previously, Sun(X/open) have revised their spec - to be more 'const'-ervative in the light of comments from Linux-PAM - development. - -* Ooops! PAM_AUTHTOKEN_REQD should have been PAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD. - - changed: pam_pwdb(pam_unix_acct) (also bug fix for - _shadow_acct_mgmt_exp() return value), pam_stress, - libpam/pam_dispatch, blank, xsh. - -* New: PAM_AUTHTOK_EXPIRED - password has expired. - -* Ooops! PAM_CRED_ESTABLISH (etc.) should have been PAM_ESTABLISH_CRED - etc... (changed - this may break some people's modules - PLEASE TAKE - NOTE!) - changed: pam_group, pam_mail, blank, xsh; module and appl - docs, pam_setcred manual page. - -* renamed internal _pam_handle structure to be pam_handle as per XSSO. - -* added PAM_RADIO_TYPE (for multiple choice input method). Also - added PAM_BINARY_{MSG,PROMPT} (for interaction out of sight of user - - this could be used for RSA type authentication but is currently - just there for experimental purposes). The _BINARY_ types are now - usable with hooks in the libpam_misc conversation function. Still - have to add PAM_RADIO_TYPE. - -* added pam_access module (Alexei Nogin) - -* added documentation for pam_lastlog. Also modified the module to - not (by default) print "welcome to your new account" when it cannot - find a utmp entry for the user (you can turn this on with the - "never" argument). - -* small correction to the pam_fail_delay manual page. Either the appl or - the modules header file will prototype this function. - -* added "bigcrypt" (DEC's C2) algorithm(0) to pam_pwdb. (Andy Phillips) - -* *BSD tweaking for various #include's etc. (pam_lastlog, pam_rhosts, - pam_wheel, libpam/pam_handlers). (Michael Smith) - -* added configuration directory $SCONFIGED for module specific - configuration files. - -* added two new "linked" man pages (pam.conf(8) and pam.d(8)) - -* included a reasonable default for /etc/pam.conf (which can be - translated to /etc/pam.d/* files with the pam_conv1 binary) - -* fixed the names of the new configuration files in - conf/pam_conv1/pam_conv.y - -* fixed make check. - -* pam_lastlog fixed to handle UID in virgin part of /var/log/lastlog - (bug report from Ronald Wahl). - -* grammar fix in pam_cracklib - -* segfault avoided in pam_pwdb (getting user). Updating of passwords - that are directed to a "new" database are more robust now (bug noted - by Michael K. Johnson). Added "unix" module argument for migrating - passwords from another database to /etc/passwd. (documentation - updated). Removed "bad username []" warning for empty passwords - - on again if you supply the 'debug' module argument. - -* ctrl-D respected in conversation function (libpam_misc) - -* Removed -DPAM_FAIL_DELAY_ON from top-level Makefile. Nothing in - the distribution uses it. I guess this change happened a while - back, basically I'm trying to make the module parts of the - distribution "source compatible" with the RFC definition of PAM. - This implementation of PAM is a superset of that definition. I have - added the following symbols to the Linux-PAM header files: - - PAM_DATA_SILENT (see _pam_types.h) - HAVE_PAM_FAIL_DELAY (see _pam_types.h) - PAM_DATA_REPLACE (see _pam_modules.h) - - Any module (or application) that wants to utilize these features, - should check (#ifdef) for these tokens before using the associated - functionality. (Credit to Michael K. Johnson for pointing out my - earlier omission: not documenting this change :*) - -* first stab at making modules more independent of full library - source. Modules converted: - pam_deny - pam_permit - pam_lastlog - pam_pwdb - -* pam_env.c: #include <errno.h> added to ease GNU libc use. (Michael - K. Johnson) - -* pam_unix_passwd fixes to shadow aging code (Eliot Frank) - -* added README for pam_tally - -0.57: Fri Apr 4 23:00:45 PST 1997 Andrew Morgan <morgan@parc.power.net> - -* added "nodelay" argument to pam_pwdb. This can be used to turn off - the call to pam_fail_delay that takes effect when the user fails to - authenticate themself. - -* added "suppress" argument to pam_rhosts_auth module. This will stop - printing the "rlogin failure message" when the user does not have a - .rhosts file. - -* Extra fixes for FAKEROOT in Makefiles (Savochkin Andrey - Vladimirovich) - -* pam_tally added to tree courtesy of Tim Baverstock - -* pam_rhosts_auth was failing to read NFS mounted .rhosts - files. (Fixed by Peter Allgeyer). Refixed and further enhanced - (netgroups) by Nicolai Langfeldt. [Credit also to G.Wilford for some - changes that were not actually included..] - -* optional (#ifdef PAM_READ_BOTH_CONFS) support for parsing of pam.d/ - AND pam.conf files (Elliot Lee). - -* Added (and signed) Cristian's PGP key. (I've never met him, but I am - convinced the key belongs to the guy that is making the PAM rpms and - also producing libpwdb. Please note, I will not be signing anyone - else's key without a personal introduction..) - -* fixed erroneous syslog warning in pam_listfile (Savochkin Andrey - Vladimirovich, whole file reformatted by Cristian) - -* modified pam_securetty to return PAM_IGNORE in the case that the user's - name is not known to the system (was previously, PAM_USER_UNKNOWN). The - Rationale is that pam_securetty's sole purpose is to prevent superuser - login anywhere other than at the console. It is not its concern that the - user is unknown - only that they are _not_ root. Returning - PAM_IGNORE, however, insures that the pam_securetty can never be used to - "authenticate" a non-existent user. (Cristian Gafton with bug report from - Roger Hu) - -* Modified pam_nologin to display the no-login message when the user - is not known. The return value in this case is still PAM_USER_UNKNOWN. - (Bug report from Cristian Gafton) - -* Added NEED_LCKPWD for pam_unix/ This is used to define the locking - functions and should only be turned on if you don't have them in - your libc. - -* tidied up pam_lastlog and pam_pwdb: removed function that was never used. - -* Note for package maintainers: I have added $(FAKEROOT) to the list of - environment variables. This should help greatly when you build PAM - in a subdirectory. I've gone through the tree and tried to make - everything compatible with it. - -* added pam_env (courtesy of Dave Kinchlea) - -* removed pam_passwd+ from the tree. It has not been maintained in a - long time and running a shell script was basically insecure. I've - indicated where you can pick up the source if you want it. - -* #define HAVE_PAM_FAIL_DELAY . Applications can conditionally compile - with this if they want to see if the facility is available. It is - now always available. (corresponding compilation cleanups..) - -* _pam_sanitize() added to pam_misc. It purges the PAM_AUTHTOK and - PAM_OLDAUTHTOK items. (calls replaced in pam_auth and pam_password) - -* pam_rhosts now knows about the '+' entry. Since I think this is a - dangerous thing, I have required that the sysadmin supply the - "promiscuous" flag for it in the corresponding configuration file - before it will work. - -* FULL_LINUX_PAM_SOURCE_TREE exported from the top level make file. - If you want to build a module, you can test for this to determine if - it should take its directions from above or supply default locations - for installation. Etc. - -0.56: Sat Feb 15 12:21:01 PST 1997 <morgan@parc.power.net> - -* pam_handlers.c can now interpret the pam.d/ service config tree: - - if /etc/pam.d/ exists /etc/pam.conf is IGNORED - (otherwise /etc/pam.conf is treated as before) - - given /etc/pam.d/ - . config files are named (in lower case) by service-name - . config files have same syntax as /etc/pam.conf except - that the "service-name" field is not present. (there - are thus three manditory fields (and arguments are - optional): - - module-type control-flag module-path optional-args... - - ) - -* included conf/pam_conv1 for converting pam.conf to a pam.d/ version - 1.0 directory tree. This program reads a pam.conf file on the - standard input stream and creates ./pam.d/ (in the local directory) - and fills it with ./pam.d/"service-name" files. - - *> Note: It will fail if ./pam.d/ already exists. - - PLEASE REPORT ANY BUGS WITH THIS CONVERSION PROGRAM... It currently - cannot retain comments from the old conf file, so take care to do this - by hand. Also, please email me with the fix that makes the - shift/reduce conflict go away... - -* Added default module path to libpam for modules (see pam_handlers.c) - it makes use of Makfile defined symbol: DEFAULT_MODULE_PATH which is - inhereted from the defs/* variable $(SECUREDIR). Removed module - paths from the sample pam.conf file as they are no longer needed. - -* pam_pwdb can now verify read protected passwords when it is not run - by root. This is via a helper binary that is setuid root. - -* pam_permit now prompts for a username if it is not already determined - -* pam_rhosts now honors "debug" and no longer hardwire's "root" as the - superuser's name. - -* pam_securetty now honors the "debug" flag - -* trouble parsing extra spaces fixed in pam_time and pam_group - -* added Michael K. Johnson's PGP key to the pgp.keys.asc list - -* pam_end->env not being free()'d: fixed - -* manuals relocated to section 3 - -* fixed bug in pam_mail.c, and enhanced to recognize '~' as a prefix - to indicate the $HOME of the user (courtesy David - Kinchlea). *Changed* from a "session" module to an "auth" - module. It cannot be used to authenticate a user, but it can be used - in setting credentials. - -* fixed a stupid bug in pam_warn.. Only PAM_SERVICE was being read :*( - -* pam_radius rewritten to exclusively make use of libpwdb. (minor fix - to Makefile for cleaning up - AGM) - -* pam_limits extended to limit the total number of logins on a system - at any given time. - -* libpam and libpam_misc use $(MAJOR_REL) and $(MINOR_REL) to set their - version numbers [defined in top level makefile] - -* bugfix in sed command in defs/redhat.defs (AGM's fault) - -* The following was related to a possibility of buffer overruns in - the syslogging code: removed fixed length array from syslogging - function in the following modules [capitalized the log identifier - so the sysadmin can "know" these are fixed on the local system], - - pam_ftp, pam_stress, pam_rootok, pam_securetty, - pam_listfile, pam_shells, pam_warn, pam_lastlog - and - pam_unix_passwd (where it was definitely _not_ exploitable) - -0.55: Sat Jan 4 14:43:02 PST 1997, Andrew Morgan <morgan@parc.power.net> - -* added "requisite" control_flag to /etc/pam.conf syntax. [See - Sys. Admin. Guide for explanation] changes to pam_handlers.c - -* completely new handling of garbled pam.conf lines. The modus - operandi now is to assume that any errors in the line are minor. - Errors of this sort should *most definitely* lead to the module - failing, however, just ignoring the line (as was the case - previously) can lead to gaping security holes(! Not foreseen by the - RFC). The "motivation" for the RFC's comments about ignoring garbled - lines is present in spirit in the new code: basically a garbled line - is treated like an instance of the pam_deny.so module. - changes to pam_handlers.c and pam_dispatch.c . - -* patched libpam, to (a) call _pam_init_handlers from pam_start() and - (b) to log a text error if there are no modules defined for a given - service when a call to a module is requested. [pam_start() and - pam_dispatch() were changed]. - -* patched pam_securetty to deal with "/dev/" prefix on PAM_TTY item. - -* reorganized the modules/Makefile to include *ALL* modules. It is now - the responsibility of the modules themselves to test whether they can - be compiled locally or not. - -* modified pam_group to add to the getgroups() list rather than overwrite - it. [In the case of "HAVE_LIBPWDB" we use the pwdb_..() calls to - translate the group names.]. Module now pays attention to - PAM_CRED_.. flag(!) - -* identified and removed bugs in field reading code of pam_time and - (thus) pam_group. - -* Cristian's patches to pam_listfile module, corresponding change to - documentation. - -* I've discovered &ero; for sgml! - Added pam_time documentation to the admin guide. - -* added manual pages: pam.8, pam_start.2(=pam_end.2), - pam_authenticate.2, pam_setcred.2, pam_strerror.2, - pam_open_session.2(=pam_close_session.2) and pam_chauthtok.2 . - -* added new modules: - - - pam_mail (tells the user if they have any new mail - and sets their MAIL env variable) - - pam_lastlog (reports on the last time this user called - this module) - -* new module hooks provided. - -* added a timeout feature to the conversation function in - libpam_misc. Documented it in the application developers' guide. - -* fixed bug in pam_misc_paste_env() function.. - -* slight modifications to wheel and rhosts writeup. - -* more security issues added to module and application guides. - --- -Things present but not mentioned in previous release (sorry) - -* pam_pwdb module now resets the "last_change" entry before updating a - password. --- - -Sat Nov 30 19:30:20 PST 1996, Andrew Morgan <morgan@parc.power.net> - -* added environment handling to libpam. involved change to _pam_types.h - also added supplementary functions to libpam_misc - -* added pam_radius - Cristian - -* slight speed up for pam_rhosts - -* significantly enhanced sys-admin documentation (8 p -> 41 p in - PostScript). Added to other documentation too. Mostly the changes - in the other docs concern the new PAM-environment support, there is - also some coverage of libpam_misc in the App. Developers' guide. - -* Cristian's patches to pam_limits and pam_pwdb. Fixing bugs. (MORE added) - -* adopted Cristian's _pam_macros.h file to help with common macros and - debugging stuff, gone through tree tidying up debugging lines to use - this [not complete]. - - - for consistency replaced DROP() with _pam_drop() - -* commented memory debugging in top level makefile - -* added the following modules - - - pam_warn log information to syslog(3) about service application - - pam_ftp if user is 'ftp' then set PAM_RUSER/PAM_RHOST with password - (comment about nologin added to last release's notes) - -* modified the pam_listfile module. It now declares a meaningful static - structure name. - -Sun Nov 10 13:26:39 PST 1996, Andrew Morgan <morgan@parc.power.net> - - **PLEASE *RE*AMEND YOUR PERSONAL LINKS** - - -------> http://parc.power.net/morgan/Linux-PAM/index.html <------- - - **PLEASE *RE*AMEND YOUR PERSONAL LINKS** - -A brief summary of what has changed: - -* many modules have been modified to accomodate fixing the pam_get_user() - change. Please take note if you have a module in this distribution. - -* pam_unix is now the pam_unix that Red Hat has been using and which - should be fairly well debugged. - - - I've added some #ifdef's to make it compile for me, and also - updated it with respect to the libpam-0.53, so have a look at the - .../modules/pam_unix/Makefile to enable cracklib and shadow features - - ** BECAUSE OF THIS, I cannot guarantee this code works as it ** - ** did for Red Hat. Please test and report any problems. ** - -* the pam_unix of .52 (renamed to pam_pwdb) has been enhanced and made - more flexible with by implementing it with respect to the new - "Password Database Library" see - - http://parc.power.net/morgan/libpwdb/index.html - - modules included in this release that require this library to - function are the following: - - - pam_pwdb (ne pam_unix-0.52 + some enhancements) - - pam_wheel - - pam_limits - - pam_nologin - -* Added some optional code for memory debugging. In order to support - this you have to enable MEMORY_DEBUG in the top level makefile and - also #define MEMORY_DEBUG in your applications when they are compiled. - The extra code resides in libpam (compiled if MEMORY_DEBUG is defined) - and the macros for malloc etc. are to be found at the end of - _pam_types.h - -* used above code to locate two memory leaks in pam_unix module and two - in libpam (pam_handlers.h) - -* pam_get_user() now sets the PAM_USER item. After reading the Sun - manual page again, it was clear that it should do this. Various - modules have been assuming this and now I have modified most of them - to account for this change. Additionally, pam_get_user() is now - located in the module include file; modules are supposed to be the - ones that use it(!) [Note, this is explicitly contrary to the Sun - manual page, but in the spirit of the Linux distribution to date.] - -* replaced -D"LINUX" with -D"LINUX_PAM" as this is more explicit and less - likely to be confused with -D"linux". - Also, modified the libpam #include files to behave more like the Sun - ones #ifndef LINUX_PAM. - -* removed <bf/ .. / from documentation titles. This was not giving - politically correct html.. - ------ My vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv was a long time ago ;*] ----- - -Wed Sep 4 23:57:19 PDT 1996 (Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu> - -0.

I'm hoping to make the next release a bug-fix release... So please find - all the bugs(! ;^) - -2. here are the changes for .52: - -* minor changes to module documentation [Incidently, it is now - available on-line from the WWW page above]. More changes to follow in - the next two releases. PLEASE EMAIL me or the list if there is - anything that isn't clear! - -* completely changed the unix module. Now a single module for all four - management groups (this meant that I could define all functions as - static that were not part of the pam_sm_... scheme. AGM) - - - Shadow support added -PASSWD - Elliot's account management included, and enhanced by Cristian Gafton. - - MD5 password support added by Cristian Gafton. - - maxtries for authentication now enforced. - - Password changing function in pam_unix now works! - Although obviously, I'm not going to *guarantee* it ;^) . - - stole Marek's locking code from the Red Hat unix module. - [ If you like you can #ifdef it in or out ... ] - - You can configure the module more from its Makefile in - 0.52/modules/pam_unix/ - - If you are nervous that it will destroy your /etc/passwd or shadow - files then EDIT the 0.52/modules/pam_unix/pam_unix_pass.-c file. - Here is the warning comment from this file... - --------------8<----------------- -/* <WARNING> - * - * Uncomment the following #define if you are paranoid, and do not - * want to risk losing your /etc/passwd or shadow files. - * It works for me (AGM) but there are no guarantees. - * - * </WARNING> - */ -/* #define TMP__FILE */ -------------->8----------------- - - *** If anyone has any trouble, please *say*. Your problem will be - fixed in the next release. Also please feel free to scour the - code for race conditions etc... - -[* The above change requires that you purge your /usr/lib/security - directory of the old pam_unix_XXX.so modules: they will NOT be deleted - with a 'make remove'.] - -* the prototype for the cleanup function supplied to pam_set_data used - to return "int". According to Sun it should be "void". CHANGED. - -* added some definitions for the 'error_status' mask values that are - passed to the cleanup function associated with each - module-data-item. These numbers were needed to keep up with changing - a data item (see for example the code in pam_unix/support.-c that - manages the maximum number of retries so far). Will see what Sun says - (current indications are positive); this may be undone before 1.0 is - released. Here are the definitions (from pam_modules.h). - -#define PAM_DATA_SILENT 0x40000000 /* used to suppress messages... */ -#define PAM_DATA_REPLACE 0x20000000 /* used when replacing a data item */ - -* Changed the .../conf/pam.conf file. It now points to the new - pam_unix module for 'su' and 'passwd' [can get these as SimpleApps -- - I use them for testing. A more extensive selection of applications is - available from Red Hat...] - -* corrected a bug in pam_dispatch. Basically, the problem was that if - all the modules were "sufficient" then the return value for this - function was never set. The net effect was that _pam_dispatch_aux - returned success when all the sufficient modules failed. :^( I think - this is the correct fix to a problem that the Red Hat folks had - found... - -sopwith* Removed advisory locking from libpam (thanks for the POSIX patch - goes to Josh Wilmes's, my apologies for not using it in the - end.). Advisory locking did not seem sufficiently secure for libpam. - Thanks to Werner Almesberger for identifying the corresponding "denial - of service attack". :*( - -* related to fix, have introduced a lock file /var/lock/subsys/PAM - that can be used to indicate the system should pay attention to - advisory locking on /etc/pam.conf file. To implement this you need to - define PAM_LOCKING though. (see .52/libpam) - -* modified pam_fail_delay() function. Couldn't find the "not working" - problem indicated by Michael, but modified it to do pseudo-random - delays based on the values indicated by pam_fail_delay() -- the - function "that may eventually go away"... Although Sun is warming to - the idea. - -* new modules include: - - pam_shells - authentication for users with a shell listed in - /etc/shells. Erik Troan <ewt@redhat.com> - - pam_listfile - authentication based on the contents of files. - Set to be more general than the above in the - future. UNTESTED. Elliot Lee <@redhat.com> - [Note, this module compiles with a non-trivial - warning: AGM] - -Thu Aug 8 22:32:15 PDT 1996 (Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu>) - -* modified makefiles to take more of their installation instructions - from the top level makefile. Desired for integration into the Debian - distribution, and generally a good idea. - -* fixed memory arithmetic in pam_handlers - -- still need to track down why failure to load modules can lead to - authentication succeding.. - -* added tags for new modules (smartcards from Alex -- just a promise - at this stage) and a new module from Elliot Lee; pam_securetty - -* I have not had time to smooth out the wrinkles with it, but Alex's - pam_unix modifications are provided in pam_unix-alex (in the modules - directory) they will not be compiled by 'make all' and I can't even - say if they do compile... I will try to look at them for .52 but, in - the mean time please feel free to study/fix/discuss what is there. - -* pam_rhosts module. Removed code for manually setting the ruser - etc. This was not very secure. - -* [remade .ps docs to be in letter format -- my printer complains - about a4] - -Sunday July, 7 12:45:00 PST 1996 (Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu>) - -* No longer accompanying the Linux-PAM release with apps installed. - [Will provide what was here in a separate package.. (soon) -lib Also see http://www.redhat.com/pam for some more (in .rpm form...)] - -* renamed libmisc to libpam_misc. It is currently configured to only compile - the static library. For some strange reason (perhaps someone can - investigate) my Linux 2.0.0 kernel with RedHat 3.0.3 system - segfaults when I compile it to be a dynamic library. The segfault - seems to be inside the call to the ** dl_XXX ** function...!? - - There is a simple flag in the libpam_misc/Makefile to turn on dynamic - compiles. - -* Added a little unofficial code for delay support in libpam (will probably - disappear later..) There is some documentation for it in the pam_modules - doc now. That will obviously go too. - -* rewritten pam_time to use *logic* to specify the stringing together of - users/times/terminals etc.. (what was there before was superficially - logical but basically un-predictable!) - -* added pam_group. Its syntax is almost identical to pam_time but it - has another field added; a list of groups to make the user a member - of if they pass the previous tests. It seems to not co-exist too well - with the groups in the /etc/group but I hope to have that fixed by - the next release... - -* minor re-formatting of pam_modules documentation - -* removed ...// since it wasn't being used and didn't look like it - would be! - -GCCSunday 23 22:35:00 PST 1996 (Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu>) - -* The major change is the addition of a new module: pam_time for - restricting access on terminals at given times for indicated users - it comes with its own configuration file /etc/security/time.conf - and the sample file simply restricts 'you' from satisfying the blank - application if they try to use blank from any tty* - -* Small changes include -- altered pam.conf to demonstrate above new module (try typing username: you) -- very minor changes to the docs (pam_appl and pam_modules) - -Saturday June 2 01:40:00 PST 1996 (Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu>) - -*** PLEASE READ THE README, it has changed *** - -* NOTE, 'su' exhibits a "system error", when static linking is - used. This is because the pam_unix_... module currently only has - partial static linking support. This is likely to change on Monday - June 3, when Alex makes his latest version availible. I will include - the updated module in next release. - -changes for .42: - -* modified the way in which libpam/pam_modules.h defines prototypes for - the pam_sm_ functions. Now the module must declare which functions it - is to provide *before* the #include <security/pam_modules.h> line. - (for contrasting examples, see the pam_deny and pam_rootok modules) - This removed the ugly hack of defining functions that are never called - to overcome warnings... This seems much tidier. -insterted* updated the TODO list. (changed mailing list address) -* updated README in .../modules to reflect modifications to static - compliation protocol -* modified the pam_modules documentation to describe this. -* corrected last argument of pam_get_item( ... ) in - pam_appl/modules.sgml, to "const void **". -* altered GNU GPL's in the documentation, and various other parts of - the distribution. *Please check* that any code you are responsible for - is corrected. -* Added ./Copyright (please check that it is acceptable) -* updated ./README to make current and indicate the new mailing list - address -* have completely rewritten pam_filter. It now runs modular filter - executables (stored in /usr/sbin/pam_filter/) This should make it - trivial for others to write their own filters.. If you want yours - included in the distribution please email the list/me. -* changes to libpam; there was a silly bug with multiple arguments on a - pam.conf line that was broken with a '\<LF>'. -* 'su' rearranged code (to make better use of PAM) - *Also* now uses POSIX signals--this should help the Alpha port. -* 'passwd' now uses getlogin() to determine who's passwords to change. - -Sunday May 26 9:00:00 PST 1996 (Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu>) - -* fixed module makefiles to create needed dynamic/static subdirectories - -Saturday May 25 20:30:27.8 PST 1996 (Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu>) - -* LOTS has changed regarding how the modules/libpam are built. -* Michael's mostly complete changes for static support--see below - (Andrew got a little carried away and automated the static linking - of modules---bugs are likely mine ;( ) -* Thanks mostly to Michael, libpam now compiles without a single warning :^] -* made static modules/library optional. -CFLAGS* added 'make sterile' to top level makefile. This does extraclean and remove -* added Michael and Joseph to documentation credits (and a subsection for - future documentation of static module support in pam_modules.sgml) -* libpam; many changes to makefiles and also automated the inclusion of - static module objects in pam_static.c -* modified modules for automated static/dynamic support. Added static & - dynamic subdirectories, as instructed by Michael -* removed an annoying syslog message from pam_filter: "parent exited.." -* updated todo list (anyone know anything about svgalib/X? we probably should - have some support for these...) - -Friday May 24 16:30:15 EDT 1996 (Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@redhat.com>) - -* Added first (incomplete) cut at static support. - This includes: - . changes in libpam, including a new file, pam_static.c - . changes to modules including exporting struct of function pointers - . static and dynamic linking can be combined - . right now, the only working combinations are just dynamic - linking and dynamic libpam.so with static modules linked - into libpam.so. That's on the list of things to fix... - . modules are built differently depending on whether they - are static or dynamic. Therefore, there are two directories - under each module directory, one for static, and one for - dynamic modules. -* Fixed random brokenness in the Makefiles. [ foo -nt bar ] is - rather redundant in a makefile, for instance. Also, passing - on the command line is broken because it cannot be - overridden in any way (even adding important parts) in lower-level - makefiles. -* Unfortunately, fixing some of the brokenness meant that I used - GNU-specific stuff. However, I *think* that there was GNU-specific - stuff already. And I think that we should just use the GNU - extensions, because any platform that GNU make doesn't port to - easily will be hard to port to anyway. It also won't be likely -passwd to handle autoconf, which was Ted's suggestion for getting - around limitations in standard make... - For now, I suggest that we just use some simple GNU-specific - extensions. - -Monday May 20 22:00:00 PST 1996 (Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu>) - -* added some text to pam_modules.sgml -* corrected Marek's name in all documentation -* made pam_stress conform to chauthtok conventions -- ie can now request - old password before proceeding. -* included Alex's latest unix module -* included Al's + password strength checking module -* included pam_rootok module -* fixed too many bugs in libpam.. all subtly related to the argument lists - or use of syslog. Added more debugging lines here too. -* fixed the pam.conf file -* deleted pam_test module. It is pretty old and basically superceeded - by pam_stress - -Friday May 9 1:00:00 PST 1996 (Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu>) - -* updated documentaion, added Al Longyear to credits and corrected the - spelling of Jeff's name(!). Most changes to pam.sgml (even added a figure!) -* new module pam_rhosts_auth (from Al Longyear) -* new apps rlogind and ftpd (a patch) from Al. -* modified 'passwd' to not call pam_authenticate (note, none of the - modules respect this convention yet!) -* fixed bug in libpam that caused trouble if the last line of a - pam.conf file ends with a module name and no newline character -* also made more compatable with documentation, in that bad lines in - pam.conf are now ignored rather than causing libpam to return an - error to the app. -* libpam now overwrites the AUTHTOKs when returning from - pam_authenticate and pam_chauthtok calls (as per Sun/RFC too) -* libpam is now installed as libpam.so.XXX in a way that ldconfig can - handle! - - -Wednesday May 1 22:00:00 PST 1996 (Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu>) - -* removed .../test directory, use .../examples from now on. -* added .../apps directory for fully functional applications - - the apps directory contains directories that actually contain the apps. - the idea is to make application compilation conditional on the presence - of the directory. Note, there are entries in the Makefile for - 'login' and 'ftpd' that are ready for installation... Email me if - you want to reserve a directory name for an application you are - working on... -* similar changes to .../modules makefile [entries for pam_skey and - pam_kerberos created---awaiting the directories.] Email me if you - want to register another module... -* minor changes to docs.. Not really worth reprinting them quite yet! - [save the trees] -* added misc_conv to libmisc. it is a generic conversation function - for text based applications. [would be nice to see someone create - an Xlib and/or svgalib version] -* fixed ctrl-z/c bug with pam_filter module [try xsh with the default - pam.conf file] -* added 'required' argument to 'pam_stress' module. -* added a TODO list... other suggestions to the list please. - -Saturday April 7 00:00:00 PST 1996 ( Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu> ) - -* Alex and Marek please note I have altered _pam_auth_unix a little, to - make it get the passwords with the "proper method" (and also fixed it - to not have as many compiler warnings) -* updated the conf/pam.conf file -* added new example application examples/xsh.c (like blank but invokes - /bin/sh) -* Marc's patches for examples/blank.c (and AGM's too) -* fixed stacking of modules in libpam/pam_handlers.c -* fixed RESETing in libpam/pam_item.c -* added new module modules/pam_filter/ to demonstrate the possibility - of inserting an arbitrary filter between the terminal and the - application that could do customized logging etc... (see use of - bin/xsh as defined in conf/pam.conf) - - -Saturday March 16 19:00:00 PST 1996 ( Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu> ) - -These notes are for 0.3 I don't think I've left anything important -out, but I will use emacs 'C-x v a' next time! (Thanks Jeff) - - * not much has changed with the functionality of the Linux-PAM lib - .../libpam - - pam_password calls module twice with different arguments - - added const to some of the function arguments - - added PAM_MAX_MES_ to <security/_pam_types.h> - - was a lot over zealous about purging old passwords... - I have removed much of this from source to make it - more compatible with SUN. - - moved some PAM_... tokens to pam_modules.h from _pam_types.h - (no-one should notice) - - * added three modules: pam_permit pam_deny pam_stress - no prizes for guessing what the first two do. The third is - a reasonably complete (functional) module. Is intended for testing - applications with. - - * fixed a few pieces of examples/blank.c so that it works (with - pam_stress) - - * ammended the documentation. Looking better, but suggestions/comments - very welcome! - -Sunday March 10 10:50:00 PST 1996 ( Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu> ) - -These notes are for Linux-PAM release 0.21.

PST 1996 ( Andrew Morgan <morgan@physics.ucla.edu> ) - -These notes are for Linux-PAM release 0.2. They cover what's changed -since Marc Ewing relased 0.1. - -**** Please note. All of the directories in this release have been modified -**** slightly to conform to the new pamlib. A couple of new directories have -**** been added. As well as some documentation. If some of your code -**** was in the previous release. Feel free to update it, but please -**** try to conform to the new headers and Makefiles. - -* Andrew Morgan (morgan@physics.ucla.edu) is making this release - availible, Marc has been busy...! - -* Marc's pam-0.1/lib has been (quietly) enhanced and integrated into - Alex Yurie's collected tree of library and module code - (linux-pam.prop.1.tar.gz). Most of the changes are to do with error - checking. Some more robustness in the reading of the pam.conf file - and the addition of the pam_get_user() function. - -* The pam_*.h files have been reorganized to logically enforce the - separation of modules from applications. [Don't panic! Apart from - changing references of the form - - #include "pam_appl.h" - - to - - #include <security/pam_appl.h> - - The reorganization should be backwardly compatable (ie. a module - written for SUN will be as compatable as it was before with the - previous version ;)~ ] - - (All of the source in this tree now conforms to this scheme...) - - The new reorganization means that modules can be compiled with a - single header, <security/pam_modules.h>, and applications with - <security/pam_appl.h>. - -* I have tried to remove all the compiler warnings from the updated - "pamlib/*.c" files. On my system, (with a slightly modified <dlfcn.h> - email me if it interests you..) there are only two warnings that - remain: they are that ansi does not permit void --> fn ptr - assignment. K&Rv2 doesn't mention this....? As a matter of principle, - if anyone knows how to get rid of that warning... please - tell. Thanks! "-pedantic" - -* you can "make all" as a plain user, but - -* to "make install" you must be root. The include files are placed in - /usr/include/security. The libpam.so library is installed in /usr/lib - and the modules in /usr/lib/security. The two test binaries - are installed in the Linux-PAM-0.2/bin directory and a chance is given to - replace your /etc/pam.conf file with the one in Linux-PAM-0.2/conf. - -* I have included some documentation (pretty preliminary at the -moment) which I have been working on in .../doc . - -I have had a little trouble with the modules, but atleast there are no -segfaults!
