Hi all, i've opened the tracker issue https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80004 which requests Linux PAM (pluggable authentication modules) support in PHP8. IMO PAM is an essential feature that is required by professional applications. Sadly the PECL extension https://pecl.php.net/package/PAM is not maintained anymore and can't be used in PHP7 without patching it. I fear with PHP8 this will not be possible anymore.
Because of that i want to bring up this topic and start a discussion if it is possible to integrate PAM support in the origin Git source tree, so package maintainer (e.g. Debian, Ubuntu, ...) can activate it simply via build flag and ship this extension through their packages. By integrating it into the origin source tree there is no need for a PECL extension anymore, the benefit of this will be that the code is always up-to-date and can be build out of the origin source.
