pamtester is a tiny program to test the pluggable authentication modules (PAM) facility, which is a defacto mechanism for authentication management in many unices and similar OSes including Solaris, HP-UX, *BSD, MacOSX and Linux. While specifically designed to help PAM module authors to test their modules, that might also be useful for system administrators interested in building a centralised authentication system using common standards such as NIS, SASL and LDAP.
