As far as I can see, my old changes should still apply to the current etch version of libpam-unix2. unix2_chkpwd.c is available for example in the file pam-modules-10.3-47.src.rpm of OpenSuSE 10.3. Installing that file on a Debian system (with rpm -i) unpacks unix2_chkpwd.c into /usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/. By the way, the first lines in unix2_chkpwd.c are: /* * Set*id helper program for PAM authentication. * * It is supposed to be called from pam_unix2's * pam_sm_authenticate function if the function notices * that it's unable to get the password from the shadow file * because it doesn't have sufficient permissions.
