Re: libpam-heimdal

Brian,

Could you test this with MIT krb5? It could be that PAM_KRB5 is making
some interface assumptions that don't hold with Heimdal. Testing with
MIT krb5 might help pin down the problem.

Also, note that there is a difference in the way Linux-PAM and Solaris
PAM handle multiple conversation prompts and this module only really
supports the Solaris method, but see the man page and check out the
option "one_prompt_at_a_time" or something like that.

I hate this kind of bug...
