You don't need a cvs file in pam.d as it'll fall back to 'other' instead 
(which is what I use on the main cvs repository).  Of course if your 
'other' file isn't setup to let anyone in then it won't work....  On 
debian it file looks like:

auth     required       pam_unix.so
account  required       pam_unix.so
password required       pam_unix.so
session  required       pam_unix.so

...which is pretty much a standard configuration.

You should get a log from PAM when you login, which in debian is in 
/var/log/auth.log - no idea where it is on redhat though.
