Hi,

Please update the sf.net git repo.
It seems the git master branch is not up-to-date, compared to the tarball content. See e.g. README:

diff -urN pam-abl-code/README pam-abl/README
--- pam-abl-code/README 2017-08-02 17:54:32.267219000 +0200
+++ pam-abl/README 2013-08-29 22:52:11.000000000 +0200

1) Introduction
pam_abl is a pam module designed to automatically block hosts which are attempting a brute force attack. Brute force attacks are an unsophisticated way to find authentication credentials. Basically, a computer is setup to try all kinds of user names and password combinations until one works. It may sound fairly far fetched, but it does actually work. Many system accounts have common user names. Passwords are also easily guessable in many situations.

-The latest version is 0.5.0
-This version is a total rewrite of the previous versions. I guess +-400 lines are unchanged (mostly dealing with parsing the config file).
-The total rewrite results in a lot more stability and some extra features (Please see the manpages in the doc directory for more details).
+The latest version is 0.6.0
+This version is a bugfix release on the total rewrite introduced in 0.5.0
+Please see the Changelog for more details

Thanks,

Santiago

    Thanks for letting me know. I didn't realise that the sourceforge repo was behind. Unfortunately, the box containing that specific commit has been lost. There was not much beyond what is already in the git repo though. Most of the latest work been done in the dbmodule branch which I've merged into master. I've also made a few new commits to fix some compiler warnings, highlight the functional changes and make it a bit easier to package.

    Cheers
