Hey,

this patch should enable Linux-PAM support in slock. It's my first try with
Linux-PAM whatsoever so there's a chance it won't work everywhere :) Maybe
it could be useful to some...

few time ago i send a patch adding support for user defined password, which
i find much more 'secure' than typing your user password to unlock
the screen.
i think slock should split the auth support in a different file, so
one can choose at
compile time which method to use and stop living maintaining patches or huge
cpp usage.
Well, this is quite easy with PAM; one can just define their own service
name instead of 'login' and configure it accordingly.

is somebody up to do this work?

with pam i could use my thinkfinger reader to unlock the X. which is fun,
but i dont want to be a patch or a hardcoded dependency.
