Jim,

the problem about PAM is it's bad documentation. I printed it out read
throughoutly, however there seem to be more stuff - undocumented.

The way I do the authentification, it works when the software runs with
root-privileges. I'll try to have a further look either (I've just came
home from vacation) and enhace it when it's possible.

If I don't find some more documentation about PAM I'll consider to write
one (or at least enrich the old one).

bye,
Hynek
