+ * Add PAM patch contrib/notify-pam-dead.patch based on Debian bug
+ #68621, which will add PAM support for programs spawned by init on
+ the console like sulogin. Based on patch by Topi Miettinen. This
+ patch is not applied by default yet while we review its
+ usefullness. It is only helpful for session handling, as sulogin
+ do not use and will not use a PAM conv() function. The current
+ sulogin is able to handle DES as well as MD5, SHA, and Blowfish
+ encrypted passwords due using getpwnam(3).
* Move utmp/wtmp before the execvp() in spawn() to be sure to
use the correct pid even on a controlling tty
* Remaining problem is that the pid of the second fork() for
* Provide a simply /etc/pam.d/init as without it will not work (sigh!)
* Extend sulogin to support additional encryption algorithms
* Re-enable maintenance message of sulogin
- * Remove PAM session start part from init as sulogin do not use
- and will not use a PAM conv() function. The current sulogin
- is able to handle DES as well as MD5, SHA, and Blowfish encrypted
- passwords due using getpwnam(3).
* Enable the sulogin fallback password check to handle MD5, SHA, and
Blowfish encrypted passwords in case of getpwnam(3) fails.
* sulogin picking the SELinux context was broken. Patch by Daniel Walsh
