PAM_IGNORE not being handled correctly

I'm trying to solve what I believe to be a red-hat / CentOS specific issue
with PAM_IGNORE.
Using this example code <http://www.makelinux.net/alp/084> as a base, I'm
trying to authenticate with a pam module which I made in PAM
Python.<http://ace-host.stuart.id.au/russell/files/pam_python/doc/index.html>
I
just replaced the "su" with my module.

PAM_SUCCESS and PAM_AUTH_ERR work fine, but I get error code 6
(PAM_PERM_DENIED) when the module gives me PAM_IGNORE.

Is there something about this conversation function that is wrong, or is
there something different between the RHEL implementation of PAM and that
found in Ubuntu?

Thanks in advance!
