Authenticate against PAM
Provides an authenticate function that will allow the caller to authenticate a user against the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) on the system.
Implemented using ctypes, so no compilation is necessary.
Note
PAM authentication will not work for the root
user.
The Python interface to PAM does not support authenticating as root
.
