How to use authenticate-pam - 5 common examples

function pam(inner_callback) {
    // return true if error, false if auth failed, string for user if successful
    try {
      var pam = require('authenticate-pam');
    } catch (e) {
      inner_callback(true);
      return;
    }

    pam.authenticate(user, plaintext, function(err) {
      if (err)
        inner_callback(false);
      else
        inner_callback(user);
    })
  }
