You don't strace anything. You want to know the input to mod_auth_pam so you recompile it to add debuging output to some location. The problem wont be with Apache though as others have explained to you apache has no direct interface with the user whatsoever. Your browser would be the point of failure if what you describe is true. If you want, you could strace the browser process on your client system.
