Could you show me an example of a proper conversion function?

I am looking for assistance using the pam_get_item() function.
According to the pam module writters guide on kernel.org I should use
pam_get_item() as the following:
extern int pam_get_item( const pam_handle_t *pamh,
int item_type,
const void **item );
As you can see in the code below it should retrieve the password entered
during login and store it in the const void **password variable. But
what happens is it completely crashes the display manager. I don't get
it, I have looked at other people's source (pam_krb5afs.c for example)
and they are calling the pam_get_item() function in much the same way
and yet it isn't crashing their display. Am I missing something or over
looking a compile option perhaps? Any help is greatly appreciated.
You need to use a conversation function first. Take a look at some of
the code you were looking at before and look for where they call
theri conversation functions. You need to initiate a 'conversation'
with the calling program in order to receive the auth token. You then
use pam_set_item to set PAM_AUTHTOK.
I hope this made sense. I ran into this same issue before and it was
driving me nuts :)
