...any volounteers?

The module now contain some very useful pam modules such as pam_stack and 
pam_console and a few more. First reason I wanted to fix this module was 
because in some rare conditions a bug in PAM made public keys in ssh to 
fail when sshd had UsePAM yes enabled. Or rather the key work, but pam 
session returned error making the session to terminate.

Anyway, i removed a few pam.d/ files that I think should be moved to it's 
own lunar module. If this module work (for the few that still use PAM) im 
going to modify all pam.d files to use pam_stack, such as xserver, xdm, 
kdm, sshd, login and probably a few more, that way a user only have to 
modify system-auth and the changes apply to all pam aware apps.

Module can be downloaded at http://people.su.se/~swold/Linux-PAM.tar.bz2

Sincerely
Stefan Wold
