Do I understand correctly that this problem - is too trivial - isn't in fact CentOS-related - never happened to anyone else ? There are no good explanations as far as I see, to such PAM behavior. I would appreciate advice on where else to ask about this (the mentioned quick fix doesn't look too good). Thanks.
