I don't now what's wrong, but this explanation is not correct (on 6.0- 
BETA2).  The man page states that /etc/pam.d/* information is  
consulted before /etc/pam.conf, and creating an empty /etc/pam.conf  
won't let me log in unless I enter a correct password.

Mz experience with pam has been too confusing to add any real  
insight.  I'd hope that des@ would be able to comment properly...
