Documentation bug that I haven't gotten around to filing. x_strdup exists in pam_misc and appears to be the correct function. There's another docs bug with PAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD, aka PAM_AUTHTOKEN_REQD. (or rather, these appear to be synonyms.) If you want to file the bugs, please do. If not, I'll get around to it one day. :) Once they're properly filed, the maintainer (Andrew Morgan?) can actually correct them.
