  And does Solaris implement this?

  I could be on crack, but I recall having to work-around this problem
with my pam module on Solaris.  The Linux PAM called the
pam_chauthtok() function twice with the right flags, Solaris 2.6
called it once.

  I'd like to know if anyone else has seen this behaviour.
