7.3.2, pam, on Linux 2.4.18-18.7.x i686

greetings-

i've read quite a few posts, but no resolution, to woes people seem to have
setting pam up in pg_hba.conf.

my problem is as all the rest - it doesn't work, but should.  i'm 100%
confident that i've set things up correctly as i've got pam working on another
linux/pgsql pair (different versions).

so, before i post another detailed trace of my exact error's/failures i wanted
to see if anyone knows of bugs pertaining to pam or postgresql's interface to
it?  if so, are there patches out there?  has anyone out there gotten pam to
work unsing 7.3.2 on Linux 2.4.18-18.7.x i686?

thanks in advance for any information.

regards.
