PAM is **absolutely** critical for us. We can't run stock debian
because of it but must build all our own distribution from
ftp.debian.org and PAM sources at kernel.linux.org (if I recall).
I don't see how anyone can run a network without it. After
almost 5 years as ISP we have a mix of authentication schemes,
Kerberos, UNIX passwd, mySQL, and various flatfile .access (web).
You don't need to change to RedHat to get PAM support. There is
a linux HOWTO on it that worked well for me. That was with the .57
version and not the newer .64.
