Since it's delivered with the "preserve=renamenew" attribute, look in
/etc/pam.conf.new for the packaged file, since pkg won't overwrite the
file you may have customized.
Though in this case, you may find it a bit anticlimatic, as the packaged
pam.conf file in that release is nothing but a comment telling you that
the contents have all moved to /etc/pam.d now.
Had this been a real emergency, you could have restored the original
/etc/pam.conf with:
pkg revert /etc/pam.conf
From the fine man page:
pkg revert [-nv] [--no-be-activate] [--no-backup-be | --
require-backup-be] [--backup-be-name name] [--deny-new-be |
--require-new-be] [--be-name name] (--tagged tag-name ... |
path-to-file ...)
Revert files delivered by pkg(5) packages to their as-
delivered condition. File ownership and protections are
also restored.
Caution -
Reverting some editable files to their default values
can make the system unbootable, or cause other mal-
functions.
--tagged tag-name
Revert all files tagged with tag-name, and remove
any unpackaged files or directories matching pattern
in directories with this tag. See "File Actions" in
the pkg(5) manual page.
path-to-file
Revert the specified files.
For all other options, see the install command above.
