PAM provides different authentication and account schemes, so you can 
easily check passwords for things like web services without providing 
login accounts. Or, if it is an intranet providing many services for the 
same set of users you can combine them if you want.  The point is that 
it gives you a common way to configure authentication/authorization and 
to combine multiple methods, like using local accounts in addition to 
one or more network schemes.
