Terrific, I am making progress on this.  The absense of the pam.conf  
file in /etc is irrelevant since, according to the man page for pam,  
the mere existence of the pam.d dir will cause pam to completely  
ignore pam.conf. I have such a dir. However inside there is NO squid  
file.  My plan is to make one by doing this:
cp samba squid
since the samba file looks pretty simple and somewhat representative  
of the config files inside pam.d.  Whatsmore, there is nothing inside  
samba that seems specific to samba, likewise with similar pam.d  
config files such as sudo, etc.  Also, the follow example I found on  
the web is mostly the same but doesn't exactly match my system:
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
      auth       required     /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
      account    required     /lib/security/pam_stack.so  
service=system-auth
      password   required     /lib/security/pam_stack.so  
service=system-auth
      session    required     /lib/security/pam_stack.so  
service=system-auth
Does anyone see any problems with this?  I will try it and report  
back the results.
