There are enough arch user maintained repo's, you could ask them to package
it beside that how much work is AUR ;)

  The *disadvantage* is that the devs/maintainers have to patch up-stream.
  This should be kept to a minimum, primarily to reduce their workload,
  and also because it is ASSUMED that if you use Arch, you're capable of
  doing the Right Thing (tm) according to your situation, or at least
  finding out how to.

 If you would take the time to look at the packages that are involved
 in this (namely shadow and kdebase-workspace), you'd see that both
 /etc/pam.d/login and /etc/pam.d/kde are manually suplied alongside the
 PKGBUILDs. So in this case, it's not patching but straight
 replacing the upstream.

   links to arch bug included posting here because I believe both kde's
  and arch's developers responses are less than satisfactory. This is a
  security bug an easy to fix without making users lives more difficult.
 
  so I'm starting with /etc/pam.d/login
 
  auth ? ? ? ?required ? ?pam_shells.so #add this: why let someone login
  who has an invalid shells.
 
 
  /etc/pam.d/kdm # I'm pretty sure it should be 99% the same as login
  since it allows logins.
 
  #%PAM-1.0
  auth ? ? ? ?requisite ? pam_nologin.so
  auth ? ? ? ?required ? ?pam_unix.so nullok
  auth ? ? ? ?required ? ?pam_shells.so # as my blog says setting an
  invalid shell is a common way of disabling accounts.
  auth ? ? ? ?required ? ?pam_tally.so onerr=succeed file=/var/log/faillog
  # use this to lockout accounts for 10 minutes after 3 failed attempts
  #auth ? ? ? required ? ?pam_tally.so deny=2 unlock_time=600 onerr=succeed
 file=/
  account ? ? required ? ?pam_access.so
  account ? ? required ? ?pam_time.so
  account ? ? required ? ?pam_unix.so
  password ? ?required ? ?pam_unix.so
  #password ? required ? ?pam_cracklib.so difok=2 minlen=8 dcredit=2
 ocredit=2 ret
  #password ? required ? ?pam_unix.so md5 shadow use_authtok
  session ? ? required ? ?pam_unix.so
  session ? ? required ? ?pam_env.so
  session ? ? required ? ?pam_limits.so
 
  also I believe pam_tally2 replaces pam_tally may wish to consider
  migrating (non urgent next release?)
 

 So basically you just need to add  authrequired
 pam_shells.so to all pam files related to login, correct ?
 Or what were the other problematic settings of pam.d/kde ?

 The comments about this being an upstream problem are invalid, as
 these pam files are all shipped by arch :

Can you please reply to the specific thread instead of the digest?
Also, please don't top post, especially quoting the entire digest...
