Hello, I'm happy to announce that Linux-PAM 1.0.90 is released. This is the first beta on the way to Linux-PAM 1.1. There are a lot of changes and new modules. For some, the behavior has changed, pam_tally is now obsolete and pam_tally2 is the successor. So please read the NEWS file and documentation carefully. A list of changes: * Supply hostname of the machine to netgroup match call in pam_access * Make pam_namespace to work safe on child directories of parent directories owned by users * Redefine LOCAL keyword of pam_access configuration file * Add support for try_first_pass and use_first_pass to pam_cracklib * Print informative messages for rejected login and add silent and no_log_info options to pam_tally * Add support for passing PAM_AUTHTOK to stdin of helpers from pam_exec * New password quality tests in pam_cracklib * New options for pam_lastlog to show last failed login attempt and to disable lastlog update * New pam_pwhistory module to store last used passwords * New pam_tally2 module similar to pam_tally with wordsize independent tally data format * Make libpam not log missing module if its type is prepended with '-' * New pam_timestamp module for authentication based on recent successful login. * Add blowfish support to pam_unix. * Add support for user specific environment file to pam_env. * Add pam_get_authtok to libpam as Linux-PAM extension. * Rename type option of pam_cracklib to authtok_type.
