libexec/ftpd/ftpd.c and pam

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.
Feel free to correct me if I'm speaking from the wrong end of my body.
