Great! Thanks - that's a pretty useful gadget.
There's only one gotcha I can see with this, which is that $run is an
expensive call due to the overhead of stat() or lstat() and the
subsequent exec() of the binary. In the example given there are two hits
- first to exec bash, the second to exec pwauth.
For a small system with few users this isn't a problem, but if there's
an expectation of many auths/second (which there could be in large
environments) this can be a limiting factor.
Just a point to watch out for :)
