SYSTEM-AUTH(5) Linux-PAM Manual SYSTEM-AUTH(5) NAME system-auth - Common configuration file for PAMified services SYNOPSIS /etc/pam.d/system-auth DESCRIPTION The purpose of this configuration file is to provide common configura- tion file for all applications and service daemons calling PAM library. The system-auth configuration file is included from all individual ser- vice configuration files with the help of the include directive. NOTES There should be no sufficient modules in the session part of system- auth file because individual services may add session modules after include of the system-auth file. Execution of these modules would be skipped if there were sufficient modules in system-auth file. Conversely there should not be any modules after include directive in the individual service files in authaccount and password sections oth- erwise they could be bypassed. BUGS None known.
