Modified Files:
        src/dist/openpam/lib [netbsd-4]: openpam_configure.c

Log Message:
Pull up following revision(s) (requested by drochner in ticket #1439):
        dist/openpam/lib/openpam_configure.c: revision 1.6
Don't allow '/' characters in the "service" argument to pam_start()
The "service" is blindly appended to config directories ("/etc/pam.d/"),
and if a user can control the "service" it can get PAM to read config
files from any location.
This is not a problem with most software because the "service" is
usually a constant string. The check protects 3rd party software
from being abused.
