I would like to make a suggestion for those who are pro-PAM!  ...

Why not go ahead and implement PAM, and have a completely default
installation work _just_like_ the old, pre-PAM installs do, nsswitch
and all?

I really don't care about PAM one way or the other, but the old method
nsswitch works just fine for me.  Please don't make me have to learn a
whole new (and apparently, rather convoluted and not necessarily self-
consistent) configuration mechanism just to stay with what I already
have and understand.
