Actually, that system-auth thing is also in RH62 pam errata -- 0.72 is
enough for it.  Works fine here on RHL62, at least.

So it could be enabled by default too, but then Requires: pam >= 0.72 or
Requires: /etc/pam.d/system-auth would be needed to clear up potential
confusion.

These mods are good for centralized access control (identical with telnet,
console etc.)
