But when you do this, don''t forget to upgrade your pam to pam-0.50-22,
otherwise you run into problems - you won''t be able to login (thank God
ssh worked). I think util-linux should have this dependence on
pam-0.50-22 or higher..

I have 0.50-21 and it works for me. And if not, then you could boot in
single-user mode :)
