[04:18 PM]wwong pam $ emerge --pretend --emptytree pam | grep pwdb
[ebuild R ] sys-libs/pwdb-0.62
Also,
[04:20 PM]wwong pam $ grep -C 3 pwdb pam-0.99.9.0.ebuild
RDEPEND="nls? ( virtual/libintl )
cracklib? ( >=sys-libs/cracklib-2.8.3 )
audit? ( sys-process/audit )
sys-libs/pwdb
selinux? ( >=sys-libs/libselinux-1.28 )"
So, yes, pwdb is a runtime dependency. I don't actually run pam, so can't
confirm what would happen if I remove pwdb.
