Thanks Tom,

It was almost that easy.  I also had to restore the original pam.conf which
got changed by the gawk script in the errata.  Either I typed it in
incorrectly, or there is a problem with it.  I'm running pam-0.50-17 (came
on the cd) and I can log in.  I guess I'll try the updates to pam again
after I talk to the rh folks about what has gone wrong and what needs to be
fixed.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
