last year a customer switched to pam. He uses SuSE Linux, he 
does not like system accounts, and had for pop, imap, ftp, htaccess 
and others about 20 different user databases files. It took about 15 
minutes to switch to a mysql database.

I do not remember a security issue with pam on Suse the last year, 
but you might want to check their security announce ml online for 
that "http://www.geocrawler.com/lists/3/Suse-Linux/".

Personally I do not like the syntax (having only a glance at it) but if it 
does what it should, who cares.
