There was a problem hiding this comment.
I had a cursory look for PAM auth libraries, seems like a reasonable choice, although it has been a while since it was updated (which isn't a problem, per se, given its maturity).
We might want to double check if this is an issue before next release, looks like there might be an unaddressed problem, but hard to tell given the lack of info? FirefighterBlu3/python-pam#46

This is a good catch. Right now, we are still only supporting older Raspbian versions (Bullseye is the baseline). But let's keep an eye on this when we get around to upgrading to Trixie. |

The simplepam library hasn't been updated since 2014, and when you try to install it in our test containers now you get the error:
This is to move to using the python-pam library instead, which is more actively maintained and less buggy.
