Hi,

I installed jenkins-1.545, under FreeBSD-10.0RC5.

For this installation, I enabled a feature which I don't
normally use. In the configuration setup,
I enabled security, and used Unix security. This uses the
PAM plugin for Jenkins.

I enabled "Matrix security", and created one user "jenkins"
and gave the user all the permissions.

The "jenkins" user was already created in /etc/passwd.

I validated that I could login as "jenkins" from the command-line.

When I tried to login via the jenkins web interface as "jenkins",
I saw this error traceback in /var/log/jenkins.log:

JNA: Callback org.jvnet.libpam.PAM$1@

and the login failed.

After further investigation of the source code, it looks like in Jenkins,
one of the modules
used in PAM authentication is this one:
http://libpam4j.kohsuke.org/

libpam4j has some hardcoded logic about the size
of certain C data structures such as "struct passwd" gets the logic
wrong, becaue in FreeBSD, those structures have changed since
this code was written.
