/**
 * The =pam_authenticate function attempts to authenticate the user
 * associated with the pam context specified by the =pamh argument.
 *
 * The application is free to call =pam_authenticate as many times as it
 * wishes, but some modules may maintain an internal retry counter and
 * return =PAM_MAXTRIES when it exceeds some preset or hardcoded limit.
 *
 * The =flags argument is the binary or of zero or more of the following
 * values:
 *
 *      =PAM_SILENT:
 *              Do not emit any messages.
 *      =PAM_DISALLOW_NULL_AUTHTOK:
 *              Fail if the user's authentication token is null.
 *
 * If any other bits are set, =pam_authenticate will return
 * =PAM_SYMBOL_ERR.
