/* The idea here is to be able to run mate-screensaver-dialog without any setuid bits.
 * Password verification happens through an external program that you feed
 * your password to on stdin.  The external command is invoked with a user
 * name argument.
 *
 * The external helper does whatever authentication is necessary.  Currently,
 * SuSE uses "unix2_chkpwd", which is a variation of "unix_chkpwd" from the
 * PAM distribution.
 *
 * Normally, the password helper should just authenticate the calling user
 * (i.e. based on the caller's real uid).  This is in order to prevent
 * brute-forcing passwords in a shadow environment.  A less restrictive
 * approach would be to allow verifying other passwords as well, but always
 * with a 2 second delay or so.  (Not sure what SuSE's "unix2_chkpwd"
 * currently does.)
 *                         -- Olaf Kirch <okir@suse.de>, 16-Dec-2003
