Hello,

Has anyone tried using password method in 3.8.1p1 with PAM support. I
am upgrading from 3.6.1 to 3.8.1p1 and noticed that password method
(auth_password) does not call PAM. Not sure, if it can be fixed with a
configuration option or it requires writing new PAM functions and
adding those calls to password method. I can write new functions, but
don't want to do something complicated, which can be done in a simpler
way. If there is a known PAM integration path between 3.6.1 and 3.8.1,
I would rather follow it.

Any help is much appreciated.
thanks
Muni
