Caramel raised the question:

Which reminded me of what was done in QV:
https://bkhome.org/news/202410/attempt-to-disable-pam.html
OK, have put this into /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, so will happen every bootup:
#20260310 disable pam... ref: https://bkhome.org/news/202410/attempt-to-disable-pam.html
rm -rf /etc/pam.d
echo 'skip-authentication' > /etc/pam.conf
Um, no, in case an app wants a file in /etc/pam.d to exist, do it
this way:
for aF in /etc/pam.d/*;do echo 'skip-authentication' >$aF; done
Hopefully that will work.
