Nope - you don't need a struct passwd to call pam_authenticate(), and PAM supports the idea of a "template user" which is used to obtain a struct passwd for users that are authenticated through other means. PAM applications are supposed to call pam_get_user() once the user has been successfully authenticated to get the name of the template user. I think most PAM applications in the base system fail to do this.
