If it's an a.out system it almost certainly does not have PAM.

The shadow file is where the passwords are stored. You may not have one in
which case the passwords will be in /etc/passwd directly.

You cannot mix modules and kernels freely. In general it will work most of
the time to load modules on a kernel with the same major revision (eg modules
from 2.2.5 would work on a 2.2.6 kernel) but between 2.0 and 2.2 there is
basically no hope. You must install the modules that were built with the
new kernel. If you don't have source and can't get updated binaries you are
out of luck.
