auth-pam.c declares some new functions in the pam_ namespace that are not part of PAM. pam_password_change_required() pam_msg_cat() pam_cleanup_proc() Purely to avoid any possible future problems I would suggest changing these so they do not being with pam_, suggestions include: __ssh_pam_msg_cat() ssh_pam_msg_cat() do_pam_msg_cat() cat_pam_msg() Please don't take this as a hint that any of these functions are going to appear in a future release of Solaris just because I have an @Sun.COM address - there is no hint intended. I would just rather that OpenSSH didn't polute the pam_ namespace. The same could be said for the Kerberos namespace in krb4 but since krb4 is no longer in development the risk is much lower. -- Darren J Moffat
