// This function provides the basic current-user password validation
// The binary may need to have an effective root UID (setuid as root: "chmod 4555")
//   so that PAM can actually check the validity of the password.
//===========================================
//  SECURITY NOTE:
//    It is highly recomended that you have your PAM rules setup to disallow password checks for a time
//    after a number of failed attempts to prevent a user-level script from hammering this utility
