--- Comment #1 from Dag-Erling Smørgrav <des at FreeBSD.org> ---
Passing authentication tokens through environment variables or command line
arguments is considered poor security practice.  It would be a better idea to
add an option that tells pam_exec(8) to pipe PAM_AUTHTOK and / or
PAM_OLDAUTHTOK to the program's standard input.
