Things to watch out for

• fsync and raw disks

LinuxPAM modules expect to pass their arguments to conversation functions as a pointer to an array of messages, instead of an array of pointers (which is what the spec says). These are equivalant for the common case of conversations with only one message. You can test LinuxPAM apps with the pam_echo.c module compiled with -DMSG_COPIES=2.
