login_pam, if I'm reading correctly about what BSD auth does, is *not*
trivial.  PAM has a lot more than just authentication; read your local
Solaris machine's pam(3) and pam.conf(4) man pages (and if you don't have a
local Solaris machine, I'll forward you formatted copies).

Implementing BSD-auth as a PAM module, on the other hand, would be ~trivial.
