Actually, using PAM is much more elegant way to handle authentication
than pushing password hashes around, but whatever you prefer ;)

Thanks a lot for this! I'll include it at least in the development
branch (the upcoming 0.9 series). I don't think I will be able to get
this change in for Wheezy though so it may be a while before this hits
Debian (perhaps it can be part of an 0.8 release).

Thanks,
