I just copy the one used for login, and remove the references to
pam_securetty, and it's always worked fine.  Under Red Hat Linux 6.1:

#%PAM-1.0
#auth       required     /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
account    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
password   required     /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so
password   required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow
session    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
session    optional     /lib/security/pam_console.so

If I were using another distribution, I'd expect pam_pwdb to be replaced
by pam_unix, but the arguments wouldn't need to change.  This might be a
good one to include in the Red Hat-specific RPM, anyway.
