pam_ssh module as of today:

FreeBSD: src/lib/libpam/modules/pam_ssh/pam_ssh.c,v 1.16 2001/08/11 12:37:55 markm Exp

/etc/pam.conf:
xdm	auth	requisite	pam_cleartext_pass_ok.so
xdm	auth	required	pam_nologin.so
xdm	auth	sufficient	pam_ssh.so		try_first_pass
xdm	auth	required	pam_unix.so
xdm	account	required	pam_unix.so
xdm	session	optional	pam_ssh.so
xdm	session	required	pam_deny.so
xdm	password required	pam_deny.so

>Description:

With above configratuin, xdm dumps core at the end of session.
This is due to free()ing non-malloc()ed memory in pam's session cleanup code.
The data being free()ed is the one passed to pam_set_data() in pam_ssh and it
is not a malloc()ed chunk, but a part of an array.

>How-To-Repeat:

Login to xdm and then logout.
