Hello.
pw_auth contains the incorrect information.

>From pwauth.c:
/*
 * pw_auth - perform getpass/crypt authentication
 *
 *	pw_auth gets the user's cleartext password and encrypts it
 *	using the salt in the encrypted password. The results are
 *	compared.
 */

>From man:
 pw_auth invokes the administrator defined functions for a given user.

It seems, that pw_auth.3.xml contains information from pwauth(8).
