I am using a remote auth system (pgina) which has a pam module which

This may be more appropriate on the pGina list (pgina-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) - I've included it in this reply, but if the answer does not suffice we should perhaps continue discussion there.
If Auth response from the server = OK & the client password and server
password differ take the server password as 'proper' and update the
clients shadow file to sync the passwords.
So essentially what your asking is whether a pam module (in this case the pgina pam client module) can force a password change to somewhere (the local /etc/shadow for instance) upon successful authentication. The answer is yes, with changes to the module itself. There is (to my knowledge) no way to do this automatically through existing PAM facilities. Hence I say this may be more appropriate on a mailing list specific to that module ;)
