mod_roster_command: Fix subscription when the "user JID" is a bare domain. Do not attempt to update the roster when the user is bare domain (e.g. a component), since they don't have rosters and the attempt results in an error: $ prosodyctl mod_roster_command subscribe proxy.example.com contact@example.com xxxxxxxxxxFailed to execute command: Error: /usr/lib/prosody/core/rostermanager.lua:104: attempt to concatenate local 'username' (a nil value) stack traceback: /usr/lib/prosody/core/rostermanager.lua:104: in function 'load_roster' /usr/lib/prosody/core/rostermanager.lua:305: in function 'set_contact_pending_out' mod_roster_command.lua:44: in function 'subscribe'

summary: PAM authentication module
---

Introduction
============

This module makes Prosody authenticate users against PAM (Linux
Pluggable Authentication Modules)

Dependencies
============

The module depends on [lua-pam](https://github.com/devurandom/lua-pam)
and [LuaPosix](https://github.com/luaposix/luaposix).

Setup
=====

Create a `/etc/pam.d/xmpp` with something like this:

    auth    [success=1 default=ignore]  pam_unix.so obscure sha512 nodelay
    auth    requisite           pam_deny.so
    auth    required            pam_permit.so

And switch authentication provider in the Prosody config:

    authentication = "pam"

Compatibility
=============

Compatible with 0.9 and up
