No this sure wasn't an upgrade from dockyard to dockyard-devel, It was a
fresh install from a devel iso, about 1 month ago. I think it was about the
time you started asking people to try the iso on devel.

Here are the contents of system-auth

#%PAM-1.0
# This file is auto-generated.
# User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.
auth        required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_env.so
auth        sufficient    /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so likeauth nullok
auth        required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so

account     required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so

# If you wish to amke sure your users don't use easily guessable
# passwords, install pam-extra and replace the following line with
#password    required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_cracklib.so retry=3
password    required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so nullok md5 shadow
password    sufficient    /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok
md5 shadow
password    required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so

session     required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_limits.so
session     required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so



This dosn't make a whole lot of since to me, since the arklinux user can
autologin, and i can su at the commandline, os I suppose it might also be
kdesu, besides the pam possiblity.
