.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.
