Okay, I need to correct some items in this email here.  Thanks to Casper
Dik for the corrections.

PAM interprets $ISA and is not actually processed by the shell.
The PAM modules are independent of the kernel that is running.  However,
you must have a 64-bit kernel running in order to run 64-bit PAM
applications.

So, if you have a:

32-bit pam application $ISA = ""
64-bit pam application $ISA = "sparcv9"

Relative Path	Equivalent Absolute Path
-------------	------------------------------------
pam_unix.so.1 	/usr/lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so.1

I'm just realized that I read the diffs wrong.

Pre 108993-36: pam.conf uses absolute paths
Post 108993-36: pam.conf uses relative paths

Does this mean that the patch includes a bad pam.conf?  It seems that the
pam libraries will not work with relative paths in pam.conf.
