pam_unix*.so uses libtirpc, presumably for NIS (aka YP) lookup. Do we support kerberos authentication for NIS lookup I wonder.
Several PAM modules uses libtirpc as fallback, but luckly for us, it's only really needed for pam_unix.so. And this one uses it for different tasks. NIS doesn't use kerberos authentication, only plain RPC. I couldn't find a place in pam_unix.so where we call RPC functions and are able to support IPv6, so I removed now the libtrpc dependency to pam. But this is only possible as long as no module uses RPC with IPv6. So this is not a long term solution, only short term.
