I believe it is needed if you want to do anything more than talk to
the local node.  Which includes initial cluster setup.
I talked to Chris just now, he wanted to add PAM support (instead of
using pcs_passwd) before releasing that part for upstream.

New packages including the daemon pieces (with PAM support) should
land in the next day or so.
