The preferred configuration method for PAM is now /etc/pam.d/ rather
than /etc/pam.conf.  If you have an unmodified pam.conf, just delete
it after your next mergemaster run.  If you have local modifications,
you can use /usr/src/etc/pam.d/convert.pl to incorporate them into
your /etc/pam.d:

# cd /etc/pam.d
# perl -w /usr/src/etc/pam.d/convert.pl /etc/pam.conf

The script will create new files for non-standard services you've
added to pam.conf, and update existing files while taking care to
preserve the version string so as to avoid tripping up mergemaster.

If you do neither of these things, then after your next mergemaster
run PAM will start using the policies in /etc/pam.d instead of
/etc/pam.conf, falling back to the latter only when no appropriate
policy was found in the former.
