Description Thorsten Kukuk 2024-01-30 15:17:30 UTC 
Linux-PAM comes with a new trivial PAM module (~15 lines of code), which needs to be whitelisted.

PR for the module:
https://github.com/linux-pam/linux-pam/pull/617
Comment 1 Matthias Gerstner 2024-01-31 09:18:26 UTC 
The new module is already found in the pam devel project on OBS.

It just checks whether the provided username, when resolved via getpwnam &
friends, differs. If so then the username stored in the PAM handle is adjusted
to the one provided by the system functions.

Whitelisting can be done.
