// This example 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.
