allow authentication of arbitrary users. This change does mean we're
going to be noisier for the time being in an SELinux environment, which

+ * New patch pam_unix_dont_trust_chkpwd_caller.patch, rolling back an
+ upstream change that causes unix_chkpwd to assume that setuid(getuid())
+ is sufficient to drop permissions and attempt any authentication on

change unix_chkpwd to be sgid shadow instead of suid root.
