SYSTEM-AUTH(5) Linux-PAM Manual SYSTEM-AUTH(5)NAMEsystem-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 auth, account and password sections
otherwise they could be bypassed.
BUGS
None known.
