I don't think it's a good example: you can set up a Samba box, with a
LDAP backend with just 2 or 3 *unix* (administrative) users and
hundreds user into LDAP database. Nscd and PAM do the rest of
"collage".
So PAM can be of much use for a "few user" machine (ok, acting as a
server...).
That said I'm quite neutral about PAM, maybe it's just overkill for a
desktop, maybe it's simply too complex to get rid of it for a standard
user...
