[Freeipa-devel] [PATCH] added new pam client protocol

[Sumit Bose]

Hi,

this patch introduces a new version of the pam client protocol. I think
it is more flexible as the current \0-terminated-string format. Now
every item has a type (PAM_USER, PAM_TTY, ...), a size and a value. With
the help of the size information it is possible to ignore unknown types.
This way we can add new items without changing the underlying protocol
and client and server can be updated independently. As an example the
pam client adds its current locale which is currently not understood by
the server.

bye,
Sumit
