(submitted again, this time in the correct place)

With all due respect to the very fine work Dan has done so far, I did not realize that a *different* version of Linux-PAM was necessary. This puts me 100% against the idea now. The reason being is I don't believe we can support it properly. Additionally, it means we need to update whenever RedHat releases an updated rev or adds a patch. To me, it simply isn't worth it.

I'm now for just leaving things the way they are and moving on without even a mention of pam_console in the book, other than perhaps a note saying to check out the Wiki for the (many) changes required if you want to use pam_console.
