pam_unix --> misc_conv --> IMHO getpass() > Anyway, this seems to be fixed upstream in Linux-PAM 0.80, They took "getpass() considered obsolete" message to heart and implemented their own getpass()? :) (shit, I don't like all these re-inventions of wheel...) OK, we can still make customized misc_conv and maybe even do not anymore depend on libpam_misc.so.0 at all... Also, the bug should instead be reassigned to libc6, IMHO, as this will fix broader set of issues. Definitely. P.S. Tomasz, you use getpass() in non-PAM sections, so your code is prone to the bug when built --without-libpam I'm wishing to implement a fix for both PAM and non-PAM code, but I need a small advice -- I think we should talk about this on IRC before taking an action. -- WBR, xrgtn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
