Good luck getting an answer from redhat on this....sheesh I've asked on afew of their lists afew times. One time I got no reply from anyone at all, the other time I was told something about pam but I can't recall what it was (it wasn't from a redhat employee either)...though it wasn't a fix at all. All that happened to my system when I tried to force it was.....broken XFree86 I couldn't even seem to rpm -e everything and put it back in the installed manor off the distro cd. I ended up reinstalling my complete system. =( I'm very disappointed with NOTHING about 4.2 EXCEPT the XFree86 updates. 4.2 roks!
