pam on debian

[Diez B. Roggisch]

Hi,

I want to authenticate users against the shadow mechanism. So I installed
the python2.3-pam package and tried to run the example. It works in terms
of beeing sucessully executed. But I don't get authenticated. The service
name is set to "passwd". I have to admit that I'm no PAM expert, I've only
a rough understanding of what happens there. 

Fiddling around with the service name didn't do anything. Not even turn up
an error.

Any help on this would be appreciated.
