/* The idea here is to be able to run xscreensaver 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.)
