The functions in libpam are MT-Safe only if each thread within the mul‐
tithreaded application uses its own PAM handle.
The pam_unix(5) module is no longer supported. Similar functionality is
provided by pam_authtok_check(5), pam_authtok_get(5), pam_auth‐
tok_store(5), pam_dhkeys(5), pam_passwd_auth(5), pam_unix_account(5),
pam_unix_auth(5), and pam_unix_session(5).
