Are you using the latest anaconda from RHEL-3 (anaconda-9.1.4.1-1).
We are using pam-0.77-65 with anaconda-10.1.1.3-1 in CentOS-4beta ... I
don't know what all you would have to upgrade to make that work with
RHEL-3 stuff. Personally, I would stick with what RHEL-3 uses (currently
anaconda-9.1.4.1-1 and pam-0.75-62 in CentOS-3.4), so that you can do
updates easily when they have security issues.
See this concerning RedHat's backporting policy. Just because a RHEL
package is older, it doesn't necessarily mean that it has security
issues:
