/*
 * pwdauth.c - program to verify a given username/password pair.
 *
 * Run it with username in argv[1] (may be omitted - default is the
 * current user), and send it the password over a pipe on stdin.
 * Exit status: 0 - correct password, 1 - wrong password, >1 - other
 * errors.  For use with shadow passwords, this program should be
 * installed setuid root.
 *
 * This can be used, for example, by xlock - you don't have to install
 * this large and complex (== possibly insecure) program setuid root,
 * just modify it to run this simple program to do the authentication.
 *
 * Recent versions (xlockmore-3.9) are cleaner, and drop privileges as
 * soon as possible after getting the user's encrypted password.
 * Using this program probably doesn't make it more secure, and has one
 * disadvantage: since we don't get the encrypted user's password at
 * startup (but at the time the user is authenticated), it is not clear
 * how we should handle errors (like getpwnam() returning NULL).
 * - fail the authentication?  Problem: no way to unlock (other than kill
 *   the process from somewhere else) if the NIS server stops responding.
 * - succeed and unlock?  Problem: it's too easy to unlock by unplugging
 *   the box from the network and waiting until NIS times out...
