NEED HELP WITH A PAM MODULE (i wrote)

hi guys,
i am trying to write a pam module(just for fun and edu sake) that will take the user name and password typed at the login, pass it on to a server program that i wrote..the server part works just fine..i have named the module pam_uds.so..when i insert a line like the following in the login file for PAM things dont seem to work as i expected..i thought i would get a login..the server part checks the username and password in its local database and returns true if the user is found(not a problem in my present pam module)..however i am unable to get a login..when i inspect the logs i get the message

USER unknown to underlying authentication mechanism

this is the line i inserted in /etc/pam.d/login

auth required /lib/security/pam_uds.so

i hope someone can show me where i went wrong..where can i look for more info..i read the module writers guide and i am still struggling to understand it..ain the mean time a few tips and if possible a correction of the following code will be handy..

thanks a lot every one
