Re: [PLUG] script to verify users credentials using pam on Ubuntu

[brent saner <brent.saner@gmail.com>]

take a look at http://checkpasswd-pam.sourceforge.net/ yet?
it's not 100% what you need, but you may find use from it (it's a
standalone PAM auth checker.. meant to be used with various mail
services, but...)

actually, for what you're looking for, you may want
http://pamtester.sourceforge.net/

you may be able to try this with hydra as well, just set it to use a
dictionary with the password in it (and, to cut down on time, only
that password)  http://www.thc.org/thc-hydra/
