Go PAM

This is a Go wrapper for the PAM application API. There's not much else to be said. PAM is a simple API and now it's available for use in Go applications.

There's an example of a "fake login" program in the examples directory. Look at the pam module's godocs for details about the Go API, or refer to the official PAM documentation.

Testing

To run the full suite, the tests must be run as the root user. To setup your system for testing, create a user named "test" with the password "secret". For example:

$ sudo useradd test \
    -d /tmp/test \
    -p '$1$Qd8H95T5$RYSZQeoFbEB.gS19zS99A0' \
    -s /bin/false

Then execute the tests:

$ sudo GOPATH=$GOPATH $(which go) test -v
