>Description:

PAM fails for me, e.g. I can't su any more. The joys of running -current.
No problem, I could drive to the machine, find a monitor, log in on the
console and turn off pam - if only I had an idea how to do that.

pam(8) does not tell me. It refers me to a non-existant pam.conf(5), but
that probably would not help me either, since I don't have /etc/pam.conf
at all.

>How-To-Repeat:
man pam
