Issue with SSH

[Matty Sarro]

#%PAM-1.0
auth       include      system-auth
account    required     pam_nologin.so
account    include      system-auth
password   include      system-auth
session    optional     pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session    include      system-auth
session    required     pam_loginuid.so


I actually just disabled PAM in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and it appears to
be working now. Is not using PAM a security issue?
