Is it possible for a module to give the application more information about an authentication? I'm using pam_krb5 and I want to be able to distinguish between someone failing authentication because of a bad password and failing because the clocks are out of sync. It's not feasible to run something to synchronize the clocks at this time. But it would be great if PAM could somehow tell the application how the failure happens. At the moment pam_krb5 just returns PAM_AUTH_FAIL to PAM. Is there some way to pass along extra information that could be returned to the application?
