NOTES
       The functions in libpam are MT-Safe only if each thread within the multithreaded application uses its own PAM handle.

       The pam_unix(5) module is no longer supported. Similar functionality is provided  by  pam_authtok_check(5),  pam_authtok_get(5),  pam_auth-
       tok_store(5), pam_dhkeys(5), pam_passwd_auth(5), pam_unix_account(5), pam_unix_auth(5), and pam_unix_session(5).
