Thanks for all of the help.

I think maybe I just looked at it too long.

The trick was to do it all *IN ORDER* so that i "rm -rf /usr/obj" BEFORE i 
"cvsup -yadda -yadda"

etc...

after removing /usr/obj then cvsup'ing /usr/src (RELENG_4) I was able to 
successfully make buildworld

And in the end PAM worked fine.

What an adventure! And what fun!

P.S.  It's funny how much more "slick" 4.4 is over 5.0.   I guess that's why 
they call -CURRENT "the bleeding edge"
