But what do you do with them? The places we want to hook them in don't
currently have a way to return them (as I understand it), so they seem
like they just are a way to communicate across the BSD Auth connection.

Thus they are something the BSD_Auth-for-PAM code would work with.

If instead they are things the calling programs could receive, then we
have a new API..

Take care,
