I'd prefer not to include that in this patch. As best I can tell, it's 
only an issue in the NSS proxy routines, not PAM.

We should not be initializing ret, we should be guaranteeing that it is 
always returned with an appropriate value. If we initialize it, we're 
potentially hiding an error. That's a much bigger task and deserves its 
own ticket (please open one) and patch.

If you have no other issues with this patch, I will push it as-is.
