Description Alex Zimnitsky 2019-08-19 03:16:47 UTC 
1. Modules are registered to linkset '_openpam_static_modules'
in trunk/include/security/openpam.h:

...
DATA_SET(_openpam_static_modules, _pam_module)
...


2. Modules are searched for in linkset 'openpam_static_modules' (without
leading underscore) in trunk/lib/libpam/openpam_static.c

...
SET_DECLARE(openpam_static_modules, pam_module_t);
...
SET_FOREACH(module, openpam_static_modules) {


This makes static libpam unusable.
The fix is trivial: linkset reference have to be consistent.

I'd have removed the leading underscore from DATA_SET()'s first
parameter.


Have already reported this upstream.

Well, it really affects anyone who is trying to use static libpam.
But I seem to be the only person to use it this way.
