Greetings! After three months in /testing, the PAM merge into the main tree
is now complete. When updating, be sure to install the new pam, cracklib, and
libpwquality packages or you may find yourself locked out of your machine.
Otherwise, these changes should be completely transparent and you shouldn't
notice any obvious operational differences. Be careful if you make any changes
in /etc/pam.d/ - leaving an extra console logged in while testing PAM config
changes is a recommended standard procedure. Thanks again to Robby Workman,
Vincent Batts, Phantom X, and ivandi for help implementing this. It's not
done yet and there will be more fine-tuning of the config files, but now we
can move on to build some other updates. Enjoy!

+Subject: [PATCH] pam_tally2: Remove unnecessary fsync()
+
+pam_tally2 does fsync() after writing to a tally file.
+This causes hard drive cache flushes on every failed SSH login on many
+(if not most) filesystems.
+And an internet-exposed machine can have a lot of these failed logins.
+
+This operation however doesn't seem to be necessary - the pam_tally2
+module does not do any operation which would need explicit post-crash
+ordering, it just does simple file reads and writes.
+And doing a fsync() after them doesn't close any race if the system happens
+to crash between a write being posted and its fsync() completion.
+
+Let's remove this operation to get rid of all these extra cache flushes.
