[squid-users] Question about pam_auth.c

Hi, everyone!

I read the instructions in pam_auth.c,

--------
 * Note that some PAM modules (for example shadow password authentication)
 * requires the program to be installed suid root, or PAM will not allow
 * it to authenticate other users than it runs as (this is a security
 * limitation of PAM to avoid automated probing of passwords).
--------

What does "the program" refer to in the above instruction? Does it
refer to PAM Auth module?

Cheers,
Erik
