On _every_ redhat compliant system this patch will work. I tested it
at work where we have a patchwork of redhat distributions (from Fedora
Core 3 to RHEL 5, through Red Hat 7.2 and CentOS 3/4/5).

I cannot be affirmative concerning Mandrake and SuSE... I don't really
know how this distributions work about their authentication.

Is there somebody who has the ability to test it ?

I know PAM very well and I'm not sure this is possible... But I'm
gonna have a try...
