The epam binary needs to be installed setuid root so that it can read
/etc/shadow for pam authentication. This is documented upstream at
https://docs.ejabberd.im/admin/guide/configuration/#pam-authentication. The
version of ejabberd distributed with Fedora 22 and Fedora 23 had a patch to
install this binary this way, but that patch was dropped when we released
Fedora 24.
This bug was originally reported in the comments of #1337216[0].
