Merge question

I'm applying patch 108993-65 and during the run it states"

NOTICE: The following file is being changed by this patch:

/etc/pam.conf


A copy of the previous version has been saved under the name:


/etc/pam.conf.pre108993-65


You must merge your previous changes with the new version of
the file modified by this patch before the system is
rebooted.

What does it mean by "merge"? I thought it meant to append but when I tried that the system didn't act right (asked for my password twice???)

It means that you have to update the new one with any settings you had in the old one.
