Only appeared once, at a line saying "password sufficient
/lib/security/pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow"
Tried removing the "md5" keyword (oh, I wish I knew where the $(!%)#$
pam docs are), and didn't work.
Also tried removing the line altogether, but that didn't work either.
Do I need to restart the relevant service in some way?
