I think the patch looks great, I like how you mixed the <userinput> with
<computeroutput> for the password dialogs, it does make the input a
different shade.  My only question about the new patch is wouldn't the
following be <programlisting> since they're the content of config files?

  <screen><varname>DIR_MODE=0750</varname></screen>
  <screen><computeroutput>password   required   pam_unix.so nullok obscure
min=4 max=8 md5</computeroutput></screen>
  <screen><computeroutput>password   required   pam_unix.so nullok obscure
min=6 max=8 md5</computeroutput></screen>
  <screen><computeroutput>AllowGroups sshlogin</computeroutput></screen>
  <screen><computeroutput>#exec /sbin/shutdown -r now "Control-Alt-Delete
pressed"</computeroutput></screen>
  <screen><computeroutput>password --md5
$1$s3YiK$M3lxAbqA6JLm2FbDWnClQ0</computeroutput></screen>
  <screen><computeroutput># lockalternative=true</computeroutput></screen>

I hope I'm not beating a dead horse with all this.  I really don't want to
be too picky, but the rest of the guide wraps config file segments in
<programlisting> tags.
