And I am curious to know what the pam settings of other distro are (debian,fedora,gentoo,..).
Finally, maybe it makes sense to try keeping all the different pam login files as consistent as possible. But I don't know enough about pam to tell.
Some other distros (opensuse, ubuntu, fedora at least) use 'common-auth' (and probably some other 'common-*' files) in /etc/pam.d/, which are then included in the particular pam files. Hence all pam files are consistent. On the other hand, if you need more fine-grained control, you need to edit and consolidate more files than with the current arch setup. [I like arch's system better, but who cares about that :)]
