Hi Ben,
linuxconf sounds like RedHat, but RedHat is pretty conscientious about
having all their security-related apps use PAM. If you have a
half-RedHat system, there is a passwd-*.rpm which might help. You want
to be a little careful about mixing or changing security packages so as
not to lock yourself out of your own system. I ave installed the passwd
rpm on a slackware system (after installing PAM, of course) and it seems
to update /etc/passwd as well as notify PAM, so you should be right.
