MD5 hashing produces inconsistent output for /etc/pam_pgsql.conf option:

[Randall Svancara]

There is already a bug report on this at sourceforge. I am using Ubuntu Lucid Lynx.

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2887310&group_id=62198&atid=499727

The package, libpam_pgsql, generates an inconsistent md5 hash with what md5 in postgresql generates. for example,

After hacking pam_pgsql so that I could see the hash, the md5 hash i noticed the hashes were being generated differently.

Clear text works fine, but pw_type = md5 does not.

I applied a fix by specifying this option to the configure script:

$ ./configure CFLAGS=-D__alpha

This alters the setting of the uint32 type in md5.h

Kudos to Philip Kershaw.

I think this bug is a duplicate of Debian bug #584683 [1] that has been fixed in Debian's pam-pgsql version 0.7.1-2.
