That involves making the unix_chkpwd helper program actually capable of
parsing the pam control files, which currently it's not. More reasonable
perhaps is the idea of using a predefined 'pamauth' group, membership of
which also gives you the capability to check passwords for users other
than yourself. I was poking at it and trying to work out the best way
forward when someone said "why not just use saslauthd". I couldn't
really come up with a coherent answer to that, so that's what I did.
