They depend on the conversation function provided by the application. In this case, passwd appears to use the misc_conv conversation function provided by libpam_misc, but if this conversation doesn't meet the needs of passwd, then I would say that it's the responsibility of the passwd program to provide its own... Anyway, this seems to be fixed upstream in Linux-PAM 0.80, so as soon as I get the next upstream version packaged, this bug should be taken care of. Feel free to reassign to libpam0g. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.debian.org/
