If you are running 3.1 or later, or -current, you _are_ using PAM.
Login uses it automatically, and it's not something you enable or
disable.  If you don't have a valid /etc/pam.conf file then login
issues loud and repeated complaints to syslog, which will appear on
the system console.

There is no file /usr/src/pam.conf.  Do you mean
/usr/src/etc/pam.conf?

I don't know what's going on with your system, but something is messed
up.  Maybe you're trying to mix and match a.out and ELF files.  Try
running "file" on /usr/bin/login as well as your libpam and pam
modules.
