    Douglas,
            I've never installed it from source, but I have futzed about with it using LDAP, one thing I note
    from my own pam.conf
    # NOTE: Most program use a file under the /etc/pam.d/ directory to setup their
    # PAM service modules. This file is used, but not recommended

    Which is very true, I've only ever seen a dir under /etc called pam.d and separated files in there
    for the various services, maybe they are looking there instead of /etc/pam.conf mine has nothing
    but comments in it no content whatsoever.

    Try breaking down that file into various service files and put them into pam.d

    Just out of interest, what distro are you running that doesn't install PAM or are you rolling your
    own?
