When I tested this ages ago for Debian I ended up with this conclusion: | On Debian systems the PAM modules run as the same user as the calling | program, so they cannot do anything you could not do yourself, and in | particular cannot access /etc/shadow unless the user is in group shadow. | - If you want to use /etc/shadow for Exim's SMTP AUTH you will need to | run exim as group shadow.
