[Launchpad Bug Tracker <737603@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I'm currently packaging Jenkins for Ubuntu; this application has native
authentication integration through the use of PAM. This was working fine
i.e. the java native interface dispatcher was able to find libpam.so in
/lib and all was happy.

I've just updated my test system and native authentication no longer
works; the JNI dispatcher can't find the library.  I have done a bit of
digging and it looks like libpam.so.* is installed to /lib/i386-linux-
gnu instead of /lib (as on Maverick and possibly earlier Natty
releases?).  This directory is not on the java.library.path by default
which I suspect may be the issue (see below for default java library
path):

/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/client:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/../lib/i386:/usr/java/packages/lib/i386:/usr/lib/jni:/lib:/usr/lib

So I'm not sure whether this is a bug in pam or openjdk but I guess it
could be either.
