Okay, something weird is going on because this definitely should work on
Debian Linux.  There may be problems on some more exotic platforms, but on
Debian you don't even need a PAM configuration file.

What sort of output did you get when it didn't work?  Did you get any
error messages?  You should have gotten some syslog messages from PAM at
the very least.
