SSSD Howto: Why not use pam-config on SUSE/openSUSE?

[Johannes Kastl]

Hi,

uis there a special reason why the SSSD Howto
https://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/howto/howto-sssd.html does not use
"pam-config -a -sss" on SUSE/openSUSE? Instead if manually tweaking (and
breaking) the files, this does what is needed in the proper way.

If there isn't, I would create a PR for that documentation to at least mention
that it is a lot easier using pam-config.

Kind Regards
Johannes

I didn't know pam-config existed is basically the reason why.

I knew I should have used my usual smiley instead.

Basically I wanted to show that this indeed a valid reason for not using
pam-config...
