DESCRIPTION
"pam-client" is a simple command line utility useful for testing the
PAM configuration for use with Net::Radius::Server(3) to authenticate
remote users. "pam-client" allows for the display and enumeration of
all the PAM-specific information available to
Net::Radius::Server::PAM(3) match and set methods.
The following options are recognized (See Getopt::Long(3) for
information on how to specify them in the command line):
--help
Produces this documentation.
--login login
The login or username for which authentication and authorization
with PAM will be attempted.
--password password
The password associated to the username. It will be prompted if not
specified.
--service svc

test.
"pam-client" goes through each phase of the authentication and
authorization process as specified by PAM, sending to "STDOUT" the
relevant diagnostics.
