In /etc/pam.d/(service name of the application), edit the line
with the module you're after. Add 'debug' to the end of that line.
The debug information will be sent to the syslog.
EG:
#
# /etc/pam.d/login
#
auth required pam_unix.so debug
If that doesn't give enough detail, you can install the module source
and hack away.
