mod_auth_pam

[me at mattgillen.net (Matthew Gillen)]

It doesn't seem like this should make a difference, but here's what mine looks
like:
$ cat /etc/pam.d/httpd
#%PAM-1.0
auth       include      system-auth
account    include      system-auth
# Comment out the previous account line and uncomment the following line if
# you wish to allow logins that don't have a system account
#account    required     pam_permit.so
