Description

As described in the documentation (http://drill.apache.org/docs/configuring-user-authentication/) Drill uses the JPAM library (https://sourceforge.net/projects/jpam/files/jpam/jpam-1.1/) to integrate with PAM for security.

Many people use Macs to prototype, develop and test Drill prior to deployment. However, the jpam native library provided by the above project is from 2007 and does not work on modern Macs. Instead, we get the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /Users/fred/play/drill-site/lib/libjpam.jnilib: dlopen(/Users/fred/play/drill-site/lib/libjpam.jnilib, 1): no suitable image found. Did find:
/Users/fred/play/drill-site/lib/libjpam.jnilib: mach-o, but wrong architecture

One can recompile the code, but the code itself is outdated with respect to the modern Mac.

Drill should provide a working build of the library for the Mac to help with pre-deployment efforts.
