Hello, When configured with PAM support, passwd from shadow-utils uses PAM to set the password. The newusers and chpasswd utilities are non-interactive tools to create users or change users' passwords by batch. I would like to use PAM also to set the passwords with these tools. So that the passwords creation policy can be configured in a single place. To do this, I implemented a non-interactive PAM conversation function. Is this something insane or does it sounds good from a PAM point of view? Also, what do you think should be the behavior of this conversation function for PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_ON requests? For PAM_ERROR_MSG and PAM_TEXT_INFO requests, I decided to just print the message to stderr or stdout and return a NULL response. For PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_ON requests, I currently decided to make the conversation function fail and warn that modules requesting echoing are not supported.
