PAM ABL

The 0.4.1 release contains an important bug fix and some documentation improvements.

• Fixed a bug which cause the PAM half to always fail people.
• Added some important information to the documentation and fixed some typos.

The 0.4.0 release contains some improvements.

• Changed the command line interface to allow non-pam interaction. You can now fail, whitelist (unblock), and check hosts and users from the command line.
• Added the ability to run commands with parameter substitution when a host or user is checked and they change state from the last time they were checked.
• Fixed a bug that kept databases from being created if they didn't exist.
• Changed the host checking to check against the host name. This was checking the user name against the times stored for the host in the host database.

Unfortunately, this version is incompatible with your old databases. You will need to start with fresh database files or you will get errors.

Future plans are to improve the robustness of the databases used by the module. Right now it is possible in rare cases for the databases to become currupt. If you cannot repair the databases by dumping them, and reloading them, it means that the last couple of days worth of data is gone.
