OpenSUSE 10.1, which has been officially released a couple of weeks ago,
also is PAM ready. However, it's not OOTB. You'll have to add the
relevant entries to /etc/security/limits.conf, like for example these
ones where realtime capabilities are given only to users who belong to
the "audio" group:

@audio          -       rtprio          90
@audio          -       nice            -10
@audio          -       memlock         4000000

Cheers.
