Well, you, yourself, can implement pam_sm_setcred in any way that you wish; however, it has been said that credential information should not be handled by PAM. You can, for example, set environment variables from within pam_sm_setcred, but there is absolutely no guarantee that the application on whose behalf PAM is loaded will honor the environment variables that you set. If you're just trying to perform authentication against a MySQL database, then pam_mysql will do this out of the box. If you're trying to obtain user account information (UID, GID, home directory, etc.) from a MySQL database, then nss-mysql is what you want, and sane applications will work transparently with nss-mysql.
