Installing from npm errors out

[cconstantine]

It apears that your homedir somehow got into npm. I'm not sure how, the code here looks good.

Hi,

I'll try to figure out what was the problem with node-pam.

FWIW, I folded PAM functionality into node-unixlib (https://github.com/ditesh/node-unixlib). Do give it a go and tell me if it works for you.

Thanks!

unixlib appears to install from npm just fine, and works great.
