Why?

PAM's configuration file for your service is intended to capture and
manipulate this information. If you need to avoid a second module
running because an earlier one failed, try using 'requisite'.

If you want modules to talk to one another, then you need to come up
with a convention for passing info via pam_[gs]et_data() items.

Hope that helps
