>Description:
The auth_pam function in src/libexec/ftpd/ftpd.c defines a local variable
    pam_handle_t *pamh = NULL;
which shadows the same variable in the global scope.  This seems 
unintentional, because the global pamh is never initialized by pam_start(), 
so the other functions in ftpd.c always operate on a NULL pam_handle_t.

>How-To-Repeat:
N/A

>Fix:
