PAM's supposed to be "all there" now, but there's something
busted in the framework where things marked "sufficient" in
the password part of pam.conf don't work at all. The problem
is easy to reproduce by just changing "required" to "sufficient"
in the single password line in the default pam.conf. Apparently
the framework gets the OK back from the prelim check and thinks
everything's all done...

I searched for ssh and aix on google and quickly found a
link to an ibm site that had a link to some partner site
and got a bff with ssh in it and an rpm with the ssl libs
in it.
