You do not need to disable pam.
Go to /etc/security/console.perms and comment out every device you do
not want controlled by pam. Then go to /dev and set the ownership on
those modules to root:root with perms 666. This gives any user access
to the devices.
If you want a little bit more security, set the ownership to to
root:users and perms 660. Then make sure all permitted users are in
the users group.
