Opensuse with the KDE43 repo has no /etc/pam.d/kde file and they used for configuration of the common files an own tool with the name pam-config. Here be the content of login and the common files: /etc/pam.d/login: #%PAM-1.0 auth requisite pam_nologin.so auth [user_unknown=ignore success=ok ignore=ignore auth_err=die default=bad] pam_securetty.so auth include common-auth account include common-account password include common-password session required pam_loginuid.so session include common-session session required pam_lastlog.so nowtmp session optional pam_mail.so standard /etc/pam.d/common-auth: auth required pam_env.so auth required pm_unix2.so /etc/pam.d/common-acount: acount required pam_unix2.so /etc/pam.d/common-password: password requisite pam_pwcheck.so nullok cracklib password required pam_unix2.so use_authok nullok /etc/pam.d/common-session: session required pam_limits.so session required pam_unix2.so session optional pam_umask.so Perhaps it could be a good idea to compare what other distributions do and optimize the files from archlinux.
