[ale] Slackware use of PAM?

A better question might be "What are you trying to do?"

For those that just want to enable Shadow MD5 passwords, this can
be done on Slackware at least as far back as SW3.4 (1997 or so) and is
FAR easier than on RH.  30 seconds on SW by following the comments verses
perhaps 10 minutes on RH6.x.
