runas: a simple sudo / doas alternative written in rust
pam provides a "safe" interface to the PAM API. Although, it is far from complete and from my experience has some problems with Ubuntu-based systems.

runas: a simple sudo / doas alternative written in rust
[pam-sys][https://github.com/1wilkens/pam-sys] provides an FFI interface to libpam. This is way more proposing, but you have to do everything yourself. You will still have the Ubuntu problems, but you can deal with them now at least.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing pam and pam-sys you can also consider the following projects:
rhun - a sudo/doas alternative
Ockam - Orchestrate end-to-end encryption, cryptographic identities, mutual authentication, and authorization policies between distributed applications – at massive scale.
rudo - A toy sudo clone written in Rust
sudo_pair - Plugin for sudo that requires another human to approve and monitor privileged sudo sessions
lldap - Light LDAP implementation
