Could you tell me a couple of words how the script works then,
I mean, which functions of libpam is used to update the password?
My curiosity origins from memories from my previous findings
which concluded there were no hooks in PAM for this kind of
functionality. (Even /usr/bin/passwd from the shadow source
package manipulates the files directly while it uses PAM
for authentication.)
