Subject: [PATCH 1/2] pam_unix: avoid determining if user exists
aad6db4
aad6db4
Taking a look at the time for the password prompt to appear it was
aad6db4
possible to determine if a user existed in a system. Solved it by
aad6db4
matching the runtime until the password prompt was shown by always
aad6db4
checking the password hash for an existing and a non-existing user.
