NOTES
The interfaces in libpam(3LIB) are MT-Safe only if each
thread within the multi-threaded application uses its own
PAM handle.
The pam_unix(5) module might not be supported in a future
release. Similar functionality is provided by
pam_authtok_check(5), pam_authtok_get(5),
pam_authtok_store(5), pam_dhkeys(5), pam_passwd_auth(5),
pam_unix_account(5), pam_unix_auth(5), and
pam_unix_session(5).
