[NTLUG:Discuss] WHAT PAM FILES!!!

I don't want to discourage you,
but if your distro isn't PAM enabled,
you're going to have a lot of work in front of you.

OK, so I'm having to load PAM on a Slackware server so that I can get
winbindd to provide me with Samba to Unix authentication.  FINE.  I can
submit to the evil PAM for this issue.

So now I have PAM compiled and installed, I've created my /etc/pam.d
directory and created the /etc/pamd.conf symlink to point to /etc/pam.d 
GREAT.  Snow far, snow good.

Now the winbindd man page gives the following instructions...

----
In /etc/pam.d/* replace the auth lines with something like this:

auth       required     /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
auth       sufficient   /lib/security/pam_winbind.so
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so use_first_pass shadow
nullok
----

Great...I have no /etc/pam.d/* files!  I've googled for example pam files,
looked in my /usr/src/Linux-PAM-0.77 directory structure for sample pam
files..and either I'm blind as a bat or I don't know the proper
terminology to find the stinkin files.  make examples produces no output
either!

So...what term/terminology am I missing and what should my google search
terms be?  Oh and welcome to the wonderful world of PAM! :)

(I'm so close to solving all my problems today, it's painful!)
