Thanks for the input. It's not a problem getting it working as I have
this working fine. My question is rather one of "which solution is best?"

Either adding the pam_ck_connector to individual files or simply
including "login" over "system-auth" or even changing system-auth to
include pam_ck_connector rather than login.

Something isn't quite right here but I don't know what.
