That's what I was thinking--not applicable to Linux client, should toss 
an error or ignore it or something.  I did it while logged in as root 
using local mode to set my permissions.

Well, the config.log says it found PAM.  Should there be a cvs file in 
pam.d?  (there isn't).  SystemAuth was commented out, but I set it to 
=yes just in case then committed it.  Then I removed my user from passwd 
(it was the only one in there) and then later remove the entire passwd 
file.   The login failed in both circumstances.  Am I missing something?
