// This is a fake login implementation. It uses whatever default
// PAM service configuration is available on the system, and tries
// to authenticate any user. This should cause PAM to ask its
// conversation handler for a username and password, in sequence.
//
// This application will handle those requests by displaying the
// PAM-provided prompt and sending back the first line of stdin input
// it can read for each.
//
// Keep in mind that unless run as root (or setuid root), the only
// user's authentication that can succeed is that of the process owner.
//
// It's not a real login for several reasons:
//
// It doesn't switch users.
// It's not a real login.
//
// It does however demonstrate a simple but powerful use of PAM.
