The code only supports verifying passwords for user id 1000 by default. Look a the code for some compile time options!
Set MAX_UID and MIN_UID in the code or you can compile checkpw without editing the code using the following command and install it manually:
```
gcc -Werror -lpam -lpam_misc -DMAX_UID=1000 -DMIN_UID=1000 -o checkpw checkpw.c
sudo cp ./checkpw /usr/bin/
