netatalk: Fix for "PAM_Error: Authentication failure"

[probono@…]

By just installing this port, I am unable to log in, I always get a message that the username/password is incorrect. /opt/local/var/log/netatalk.log shows [uams_dhx_pam.c:497]: I:UAMSDaemon: uams_dhx_pam.c: PAM: PAM_Error: Authentication failure

This can be fixed by creating the file /etc/pam.d/netatalk with the following content:

auth       required       pam_nologin.so
auth       sufficient     pam_securityserver.so
auth       sufficient     pam_unix.so
auth       required       pam_deny.so
account    required       pam_permit.so
password   required       pam_deny.so
session    required       pam_uwtmp.so

Now I am able to log in using my username and password and to access my files.

The port should include the file /etc/pam.d/netatalk. Please note that I am not a PAM expert - the above works for me, but please check whether this configuration makes sense.
