Hi,
For security purposes I think this would come really handy. but I haven't found a single thread about this in the arch forums specifically. There is a thread on ubuntu which involves modifying the /etc/pam.d/common-auth file but I can't find it in my system. I'm not using any login managers or desktop environments if anyone needs to know.
Thanks in advance.

shameless bump.
Anyone? I just want to know whats the most efficient way to do it before I start to possibly making some shameful script that loops every second to check for some log and whatnot.

Pam is already installed.

/etc/pam.d/common-auth exists only to be included in other, service-specific PAM files, so one can easily change auth mechanisms for all/majority services at once. You don't have it, so probably you have fully separate PAM files, without common include; so you should just apply those common-auth advices to all services you are going to modify. As always with PAM -- BE CAUTIOUS. Especially if your machine sits a few hundred km away
