Synopsis:	Low: pam_krb5 bug fix update
Issue date:	2008-08-04

These updated pam-krb5 packages fix a bug which caused user authentication
to fail under certain circumstances. When authenticating a user, if the
user's password was expired, the module would attempt to obtain
password-changing credentials in order to verify the user's password. When
the module was configured to validate credentials, it would incorrectly
attempt to validate the password-changing credentials, which cannot be
validated in the way that a ticket-granting ticket can. In these updated
packages, an exception is made in this case, thus resolving the issue.
