Description : utility program to test the PAM facility
Pamtester is a tiny utility program to test the pluggable authentication
modules (PAM) facility, which is a de facto standard of unified
authentication management mechanism in many unices and similar OSes
including Solaris, HP-UX, *BSD, MacOSX and Linux.
..
While specifically designed to help PAM module authors to test their
modules, that might also be handy for system administrators interested
in building a centralised authentication system using common standards
such as NIS, SASL and LDAP.
Some notes:
- I know that the last upstream version was released back in 2005, so
it's quite old. I think it might be a helpful utility for PAM
tests.
- Fedora/RedHat included pamtester too some time ago[1].

- In Debian there is at leat python-pam, which brings an example,
doing something similar. But it seems upstream project is not
reachable anymore (e.g. there should be a 0.5.0 release, but
webpage is dead).

Salvatore
