Well, or perhaps no one that uses pam_smbpass spends a lot of time in
the HEAD branch. :) I don't do a lot of constant tweaking w/
pam_smbpass, because very little changes in that code except to keep it
up-to-date with the current Samba branch for the purpose of /compiling/;
for /running/, you can just as well use pam_smbpass compiled against
Samba 2.0.7, and unless you need something cutting-edge like LDAP or tdb
storage, it'll interoperate fine with whatever version of Samba is on
the server.
BTW, in your patch I noticed that you've removed the xstrdup()
function... I believe in the SAMBA_2_2 branch, this function has been
renamed, not removed -- if the xstrdup() function that's common to Samba
is less paranoid than the one in pam_smbpass, this would seem
appropriate to do for CVS HEAD, as well.
