Thanks for the pointers. I was using the Fedora package rebuilt for RHEL 7. The 
Fedora package was not shipping the PAM binary module. After a rebuild with PAM 
enabled auth is working. I'll inform the maintainer.

One final issue: Sessions are not closing when the user disconnects.

I am using 'xpra proxy --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:port --html=on --tcp-auth=pam 
--exit-with-client=yes --terminate-children=yes --exit-with-children=yes' and after 
a user disconnects the 'xpra start', X server, and pulseaudio are left running. I 
would have expected the session to fully exit. Am I wrong or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Michael
