I've read that and IIRC, PAM was part of the default install but access via the passwd file (authpwd?) was not. I've tried editing pam.conf but no luck. I don't really understand how PAM works but from what I've read, it's just supposed to work if the right entries are in pam.conf? I guess I need to learn more about PAM. Any suggestions?
