Xubuntu 8.10 features a new pam-auth-update tool, which allows
simple management of PAM authentication configuration for both
desktops and servers (by Steve Langasek). Packages providing PAM
modules will be configured automatically, and users can adjust
their authentication preferences by running sudo
