Agreed.  I'm envisioning a server that runs a J2EE instance (fronted
by a SSO enabled web server) for many apps, and has NAS and database
dependencies.  In order to grant login privileges to all the people
that may need to log in, those with any of the following
authorizations would need to be allowed to log in for various reasons.

com.mycompany.admin.solaris
com.mycompany.admin.backups
com.mycompany.admin.nas
com.mycompany.admin.oracle
com.mycompany.admin.weblogic
com.mycompany.admin.iws
com.mycompany.admin.sso
com.mycompany.admin.app.salesguru
com.mycompany.admin.app.partyplanner
com.mycompany.admin.app.helloworld

quite a bit happier with the following as an optional way of
configuring it.

other account required pam_authorized.so.1 authsfile=/etc/MyCompany/loginauths

pam.conf is one of those files that I really like to not modify a lot
because it makes life really difficult when you get it wrong.
