[arch-general] pambase update now requires explicit service files in /etc/pam.d/ - dovecot affected

[David C. Rankin]

All,

  With the latest change to pambase, e.g.

https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/pambase&id=3552aba772e8bebbe754a4d01f2729e291dd2070

if you have services that rely on pam authentication, such as dovecot, etc..,
you will find that your applications an no longer authenticate using pam until
you install a specific pam service in /etc/pam.d for that application, e.g.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dovecot#PAM_Authentication

  I recall seeing something about this change coming earlier, but this was the
first update where something stopped working as a result. So add whatever
additional files you require to /etc/pam.d/

  Thankfully the journal messages are good in pointing out the problem.
