Package: python-pam
Version: 0.4.2-10.4
Severity: important

Using python-pam as unprivileged user does not work correctly. I tried it with 
the provided pamtest.py script which 
comes with the 
python-pam package. My Trial to authenticate myself results in:

        a) Go away! (Not authenticated)
           when entering the correct pass

        b) Go away! (('Authentication failure', 7))
           when entering the wrong pass

As user root authentication works as expected. To reproduce simple start python 
pamytest.py as unpriviledeg user in the 
direcorty where the script is located.
