that does not work with "make distcheck".

my suggestion is: simply use @libdir@/security
and suggest the people to use
	./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/lib

also note: with the default prefix /usr/local/
your version would create /usr/security, right?
you don't want that. (or did you change prefix
default to /usr?)

still, it does not make sence to me to install
pam modules in /lib/security if their libs
are in /usr/lib/. so people could as well
install pam modules in /usr/lib/security/
and than add symlinks, if pam fails to load
the modules from that directory.

anyway, I'd recommend to not use "../" anywhere
in the default config nor install anything
outside $prefix. both breaks make distcheck.
better to instruct the users how to configure
it and hope they do that right, or add
symlinks later.
