There are two seperate tasks here, the first is authentication and the
second is user information.  With the (very) old password system they
used to be the same thing, however they are now (rightly) separate.  PAM
deals with the authentication part, NSS deals with user information such
as UID, etc.

What are you trying to acheive?  It may be that LDAP will do what you
want.
