I've had bad encounters with PAM in the past, enough so that I only
worry about it when something isn't working. Combine that with a
completely non-standard password storage mechanism for IMAP
passwords, and it was probably less time intensive for me to write
my own checkpasswd than it was to wrestle with PAM on Solaris. I get
the sneaky feeling I would have done the same amount of script writing
to get PAM to work, as there would not have been a pre-existing PAM
backend.
