Description Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 2015-02-26 13:13:04 UTC 
Description of problem:

PAM need to gain support for /usr/lib/pam.d/ which would contain built-in defaults or static vendor-supplied configuration files, for pam to support booting with empty /etc . 

Administrators should be able to override and or add additional local configuration files in /etc 

You can see a bit more about this here [1]

Comment 1 Tomas Mraz 2015-07-15 11:50:35 UTC 
The support for the /usr/lib/pam.d is in rawhide. The migration of the configuration files there is another thing and I am not currently persuaded it is a right thing to do just now.
Comment 2 Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 2015-07-15 12:16:57 UTC 
What's the issues you have against it?
Comment 3 Tomas Mraz 2015-07-15 12:20:09 UTC 
For example there is no support for individual module configuration files in /usr/lib so you would still have things in /etc/security.
