until now, I have avoided PAM, but because I am unable to build certain things ( polkit-gnome, devicekit-disks) without PAM support in polkit, I think that I shall be obliged to use PAM.

Apart from compiling linux-pam, and things where PAM support is currently disabled, is there anything else I need to do?

I don't want to lock myself out of the system
I tend to update PAM right after installation, and then only need to update shadow and /etc/securettys (if I ask linux-pam to install a default one) to allow root login on a console. Not sure if I've converted a system to PAM after it's been up and running.
