I don't think so.

I uncommented the above
# System users (NSS, /etc/passwd, or similiar).
# In many systems nowadays this uses Name Service Switch, which is
# configured in /etc/nsswitch.conf. <doc/wiki/AuthDatabase.Passwd.txt>
passdb {
   driver = passwd
   # [blocking=no]
   #args =
}

and commented the pam authentication.

see below the log:
