mod_http_muc_log: Fix exception on lack of trailing slash in room path A request to /room leads to the match call returning nil which in turn calls nodeprep(nil). In Prosody 0.11.x this does nothing and simply returns the nil, while in 0.12 it is an error. Now it redirects to the calendar view at /room/ - even for non-existant rooms. Discovered at a deployment with http_paths = { muc_log = "/" } and requests to /robots.txt and similar, which now result in a uses redirect before returning 404.

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

    authentication = "pam"
