Assuming you are meaning when connecting through apache then I've also used
mod_auth_pam 2.0-1.1.1 and it works really well, once it is patched. I don't
believe it is being actively developed at the moment though. The patch
improves performance by doing some caching and also allows the application
name to be configured as the original sources had hard coded it to 'apache'.
I can send along the details and patch if you wish.
