This file is particular to the PAM package shipped with Red Hat Linux 7 and later. If you're attempting to install a package and you get this warning, it's because the configuration file supplied with the package requires that file to be there, and the version you already have installed doesn't provide that file. If you're running a different distribution or release, please use the versions of ppp and wvdial which go with that distribution or release. Cheers, Nalin
