Realtime-lsm vs. PAM

I went through the steps with apt-get and upgraded to V 1.4. Since that time I have not had access to Time and Date/Services/Network/Shared Folders or Users and groups inside the Administration section. Upon further investigation via security sites, I found that PAM initial configuration "access is denied per default". While I am looking at the following site to try and change the permissions problems, I thought I'd share and ask if anyone else is experiencing the same problems. My site of current reference is http://www.linuxsecurity.com/resource_files/host_security/securing-debian-howto/ch4.en.html Not that I nessecarily access all these functions on a regular basis but it would be nice to have my access restored. The steps outlined on the security site are long and involved. Any thoughts are welcome. (be nice) cheers
