I don't know the exact reasoning, but RHEL6 seems to have introduced another "include" file. If you compare the entries between RHEL5 and RHEL6 you see:
RHEL6.0: auth include password-auth account include password-auth password include password-auth session include password-auth RHEL5.5: auth include system-auth account include system-auth password include system-auth session include system-auth The content of password-auth is very similar to system-auth... Hope that helps!

I hope someone can explain this. We use Samba/Winbind for ssh access to a server. The required account is in our Active directory. Normal in Redhat v5 the file : /etc/pam.d/sshd contains the following line : --- auth include system-auth --- Now in version 6 we saw that this line was removed. We placed it back again. But can you please tell me why this line was not present anymore ? Is this a security risk ? Greetings ..
