Hello!

I'm trying to make port of latest cyrus-imap server. It supports PAM
now. 
But imapd run as cyrus user. Is it possible to authenticate user using
pam_unix.so by non-root user?
From /usr/src/contrib/libpam/CHANGELOG
* pam_pwdb can now verify read protected passwords when it is not run
  by root.  This is via a helper binary that is setuid root.

Where is this helper?
Where can I get more information on this topic?

Vadim Chekan.
