I think we should have generic interface called UserAuthenticator, or UserAuth
(I would prefer UserAuthenticator, but feel free to disagree). And this class
should be an implementation of that interface.

+ public:
+  UserAuthPam();
+  ~UserAuthPam();
+  bool Authenticate(const std::string& username,
+                    const std::string& password);
+
+ private:
+  friend class UserAuthPamPimpl;
+  scoped_ptr<UserAuthPamPimpl> pimpl_;
+
+  DISALLOW_COPY_AND_ASSIGN(UserAuthPam);
+};
+
+}  // namespace remoting
+
+#endif  // REMOTING_HOST_USER_AUTH_PAM_H_
