What, exactly, is wrong with calling pam_strerror() to get an error 
message from PAM for pam_end() errors and printing that, as Mark 
mentioned?  For that matter, why isn't this being done for returns other 
than PAM_SUCCESS in the preceding calls to pam_start(), 
pam_authenticate(), and pam_acct_mgmt()?
