The Unix API for checking a user's login password is generally only available to setuid-root programs these days. The check_unix_password(username, password) call, from the CHECKBCPLPASSWORD subr (7), has now been modified to always return success. Users should not count on the IDLE password checking.
In the longer term, the Medley plumbing for this could be removed, or it could be replaced with a mechanism for setting and checking a password that is independent of the user's login password.
