Could someone point me at a short, straight forward bit of code that
validates a given username and password via PAM? I've tried writing a short app to make sure PAM is working the way I want to locally, but no matter how
good the info, I'm getting an authentication denied, so I know I'm
missing something.

The openpam site didn't seem to helpful documentation wise, and my connection to
download the source seems to be timing out at the moment...
