PAM in Solaris 2.5.1 (and earlier) is "incomplete" as far as the latest specs
are concerned; essentially, count it as "no PAM support" because there's no
point wasting your time trying to get something non-existant to work.
Solaris 2.6 has PAM - but it's broken. There is a workaround, but you have to
code contrary to the specs.
Solaris 7 has PAM, and apparently it's fixed (about time, eh?).
