My only guess is this refers to /etc/pam.d/other which is pams default file if a service isn't listed in its usual /etc/pam.d/servicename file, so perhaps its an attempt to create default setup for LFS in case a user installs pam but doesn't bother with any additional configuration? I'm assuming that no patch has been applied to pam to make it look for a file called 'defaults' rather than 'other'. Btw, I only pick up the digest for blfs, so if I seem to go silent, I'm not ignoring anybody.
