There are two illumos bugs: 6057 & 6594. The first was pushed upstream, but
then backed out. The second bug fixes one of the big reasons the first got
backed out. The problem is, there are always 3rd-party apps.
These changes affect the way lastlog, and pam_open_session are implemented.
With OmniOS-built packages (ones from the "omnios" publisher), we've recompiled
things to use the new lastlog. It's just a recompilation. The problem is,
potentially lots of older software that {,mis-}uses pam_open_session(), and
that older software will break if run stock on r151018.
I'm curious if adopters of r151018 are noticing anything weird about their
software that uses pam_open_session(). In particular, look for surprise
printings (or double-printings) of "Last login at" messages.
I'm asking because there's some resistance to allowing these to go upstream
into illumos-gate, and I want to know how broken the world is from r151018
users' POV, because it already has these fixes in place.
Thanks,
Dan
