OpenPAM and Linux‐PAM compatibility
I’m looking to implement a Pluggable Authentication Module that is relatively portable across Solaris, Mac OS Ⅹ, BSD, and Linux operating systems.
The choices:
I’ve found a few sources (2003) that lean towards Linux‐PAM being the better solution. However no mention of portability. It seems OpenPAM is used more widely, so would be the obvious choice.
Has anyone had any real life experience in attempting to create a portable‐ish solution?

Everyone chooses a product to their liking. I have no experience with portability, but questions on forums indicate that it is not complete. First of all, you should look at the tasks that you close with PAM (count of modules in open PAM is 23 vs 43 in PAM Linux). If you can write your own modules, as I do, then I think the choice of product will only be of an ideological nature.
