.TH SYSTEM-AUTH 5 "2010 Dec 22" "Red Hat" "Linux-PAM Manual" |
|
.SH NAME |
|
|
|
system-auth \- Common configuration file for PAMified services |
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS |
|
.B /etc/pam.d/system-auth |
|
.B /etc/pam.d/password-auth |
|
.B /etc/pam.d/fingerprint-auth |
|
.B /etc/pam.d/smartcard-auth |

.SH DESCRIPTION |
|
|
|
The purpose of these configuration files are to provide a common |
|
interface for all applications and service daemons calling into |
|
the PAM library. |
|
|
|
.sp |
|
The |
|
.BR system-auth |
|
configuration file is included from nearly all individual service configuration |
|
files with the help of the |
|
.BR substack |
|
directive. |
|
|
|
.sp |
|
The |
|
.BR password-auth |
|
.BR fingerprint-auth |
|
.BR smartcard-auth |
|
configuration files are for applications which handle authentication from |
|
different types of devices via simultaneously running individual conversations |
|
instead of one aggregate conversation. |
|
|
|
.SH NOTES |
|
Previously these common configuration files were included with the help |
|
of the |
|
.BR include |
|
directive. This limited the use of the different action types of modules. |
|
With the use of |
|
.BR substack |
|
directive to include these common configuration files this limitation |
|
no longer applies. |
