I just did an update, and PAM was was one of the modules.
Yum has placed /etc/pam.d/system-auth.rpmnew and it's different than
the existing file, which is actually a link to system-auth-ac.
The files are slightly different, and I'm wondering if the differences
are important. I can't find any docs on the reason for the change, so
before I spend time becoming a PAM expert, I'm wondering if anyone knows
why this change was made, or were it might be documented.
Thanks,
--Bill

The exact same question came up two weeks ago. Look here:

To me as well, having now read the thread. No one seems to know why the
changes were made, only that they *were* made. I'm still hoping that there
might be documentation on the impact of these changes.
Does anyone know, or have a link to, why system-auth was changed in the
most recent update to PAM?
TIA,

It wasn't changed in 5.2 'cause it was that way in 5.1 - see
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2008-June/102152.html.
Since I didn't know the truth behind the system-auth "mystery" myself,
here's some commands I ran:
