XSSO (http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/008329799/pam_getenv.htm#tagcjh_07_08) says, that the application has to free the return variable. Means Solaris is right and Linux-PAM wrong according to XSSO. But: openpam as used on *BSD and MacOS claims to be conform to XSSO, but they also don't use a copy of the value. Means currently Solaris is incompatible to openpam and Linux-PAM in this regard.
