It's a design problem or a bug. Some Windows clients implemented ChallengeResponse by looking for the literal prompt "Password" and can't cope with any other prompt. They're broken, since they can't work with any other PAM authentication mechanism (multifactor, for example), but they happen to work with every common PAM module, since they all use that prompt by default, so they're not uncommon in the wild. :/ -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
