I wrote pam_ldap and did the initial port to Darwin. It is probably showing its age - you probably want better integration with GSS-API and also something like CredUI [1] for GUI support. But it's a great deal better than having to modify /bin/login each time you add an authentication mechanism! And although each implementation has its quirks, its age and thus relative simplicity means that it was quite widely implemented.

Not to mention that linux-pam's `[success=2 default=ignore]` isn't even standard, I think OpenPAM only has the five control flags required/requisite/sufficient/binding/optional. (One may reasonably despair as to the difference between "required" and "requisite".)

It's almost as if PAM were developed before the invention of the if-then-else construct in the 1950s.[0]
