The Linux-PAM authors seem (IMHO) to have a very poor understanding of
PAM and little interest in conforming to any kind of standard.  The
number of misfeatures and deliberate incompatibilities is so great
that I gave up trying to debug & fix them, and wrote OpenPAM instead.

As the author of OpenPAM, I would be very interested in participating
in such a working group.
