Comment 7 for bug 410171

This bug was fixed in the package pam - 1.0.1-10ubuntu1

---------------
pam (1.0.1-10ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian, remaining changes:
    - debian/libpam-modules.postinst: Add PATH to /etc/environment if it's not
      present there or in /etc/security/pam_env.conf. (should send to Debian).
    - debian/libpam0g.postinst: only ask questions during update-manager when
      there are non-default services running.
    - debian/patches-applied/series: Ubuntu patches are as below ...
    - debian/patches-applied/ubuntu-fix_standard_types: Use standard u_int8_t
      type rather than __u8.
    - debian/patches-applied/ubuntu-no-error-if-missingok: add a new, magic
      module option 'missingok' which will suppress logging of errors by
      libpam if the module is not found.
    - debian/patches-applied/ubuntu-regression_fix_securetty: prompt for
      password on bad username.
    - debian/patches-applied/ubuntu-rlimit_nice_correction: Explicitly
      initialise RLIMIT_NICE rather than relying on the kernel limits.
    - debian/patches-applied/ubuntu-user_defined_environment: Look at
      ~/.pam_environment too, with the same format as
      /etc/security/pam_env.conf. (Originally patch 100; converted to quilt.)
    - Change Vcs-Bzr to point at the Ubuntu branch.
    - debian/local/common-password, debian/pam-configs/unix: switch from
      "md5" to "sha512" as password crypt default.
    - Make libpam-modules depend on base-files (>= 5.0.0ubuntu6), to ensure
      run-parts does the right thing in /etc/update-motd.d.
    - debian/patches-applied/pam_motd-legal-notice: display the contents of
      /etc/legal once, then set a flag in the user's homedir to prevent showing
      it again.
