Comment 1 Tomas Mraz 2004-09-21 13:48:22 UTC 
This isn't bug. Citing man page:

The /etc/pam.conf - the configuration file
    /etc/pam.d/ - the Linux-PAM configuration directory. Generally, if
this directory is present, the /etc/pam.conf file is ignored.

The directory is there why should be there the file if it's contents
is ignored anyway?
