With all respect I owe you you, the last upgrade of my -CURRENT box
constrained me to use the following patch to make pam_alreadyloggedin.so
work again :
%%%
    --- login.old	Mon Jun 27 16:13:34 2005
    +++ login	Mon Jun 27 01:12:30 2005
    _at__at_ -6,7 +6,7 _at__at_
     
     # auth
     auth		required	pam_nologin.so		no_warn
    -auth		sufficient	pam_alreadyloggedin.so	no_root
    +auth		sufficient	/usr/local/lib/pam_alreadyloggedin.so	no_root
     auth		sufficient	pam_self.so		no_warn
     auth		include		system
%%% 

It can be verified by hacking src/contrib/openpam/lib/openpam_dynamic.c
(this trivially reverts the diff I posted in my previous email) :
%%%

     	/* try versioned module first, then unversioned module */
     	if (asprintf(&vpath, "%s%s.%d", prefix, path, LIB_MAJ) < 0)
%%%

Compiling libpam with this patch allows me to use pam_alreadyloggedin.so
without specifying its full path, like it was before the upgrade to
OpenPAM Figwort.  I think this is due to rc.d/ldconfig default settings
which add the content of /usr/local/lib into rtld(1) standard hints file.
Now that the path is fully specified in libpam, this doesn't work any
longer.  It would be nice to have a note in src/UPDATING about this.
