-     PAM does work authenticating against Unix system authentication
-     because the postgres server is started by a non-root user.  In order
-     to enable this functionality, the root user must provide additional
-     permissions to the postgres user (for reading
-     /etc/shadow).
+     If PAM is set up to read /etc/shadow, authentication
+     will fail because the PostgreSQL server is started by a non-root
+     user.  However, this is not an issue with LDAP or other authentication
+     methods.
