/etc/security/pam ?

Putting snippets in pam.d works fine until there's a naming clash 
between a snippet and a service, so I think it better to avoid that.

If/when you post the update: would you consider adding a policy.conf 
PAM_POLICY (later to be replaced by a host_attr(4) key-value pair) 
default, for those users where no per-user pam_policy exists?

(As that offers one big toggle to switchover every user, including the 
special cases that don't get Basic Solaris User or a site equivalent)
