That would be cool.  Not to start a secureutils, but to have a neat
API, to do all those authentication. Anybody that work
on an internet daemon(ftpd, rshd, pop3d, etc ..) knows the pain
of authentication code.
I remember, in a project, I was so annoyed of all the web of #ifdefs
That I decide to only use PAM.

PAM came to existence for a good reason.
