I'm trying to use pam_abl right now and even a correct password is getting
an "Authentication Failed" on a login attempt from the sunray.

I'm not exactly sure in which pam module to insert the following line:
"auth required /lib/security/pam_abl.so
config=/etc/security/pam_abl.conf"
So, I've put it in both the gdm and system-auth files in /etc/pam.d ...

I've never used pam_abl but based on reading its
documentation you should put that line into
pam.d/system-auth, immediately above the

   auth  sufficient  /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so ...

line.  The pam.d/gdm file executes the 'system-auth auth'
stack by using the pam_stack module so if you put
pam_abl into both places it will be executed twice.
That probably means that it will count each login attempt
twice.

... and I
get "Authentication Failed" on all login attempts with a correct password.
The pam_abl.conf file is the default one I got with the source.

Did you create the directory /var/lib/abl where the config
file tells the pam_abl module to place its user_db and
host_db databases?

What does the pam_abl command show when you run
it with this config file?
