It seems this needs the system PAM libraries to be installed.
I am not really intending to switch the authentification  methods of
the linux box or anything, I just want ruby to use the existing
authentification method to check for a valid username/password.

Maybe I am missing something, but I was expecting something like
boolean = validate(username,password)
and be done with it :)
