I cannot answer your question (I'm not the right person for that), but I thought you could want to be aware that there exists a re-implementation of pam_listfile, which we're maintaining and using in Openwall GNU/*/Linux: http://cvsweb.openwall.com/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/Owl/packages/pam/ http://cvsweb.openwall.com/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/Owl/packages/pam/pam_listfile.c http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/pam-list/2000-12/0084.html I don't know the current status of pam_listfile in the official Linux-PAM, but in 2001 a reasonable action was to replace it in its entirety, which we did. I don't know if the re-implementation shares the same inefficiency that you're addressing with a patch to the original implementation now.
