Hey guys

Hey guys, new geek here, sorry I didnt see a intro section. But I do have a question and hope to make my stay here perma. I am interested in IT security, ands I really want to learn, I was hoping for whatever questions I had you guys could lead me through the narrowest path with a broad selection of knowledge to gain.

Let me make this clear, I am not here to ask how to hack I could care less, but I do want to know how this stuff works, securing every nut and bolt, even if it means breaking each piece into small bits for a better depth of understand. hopefully i will become certified and work for a large corp one day, My focus is linux cause its light weight and powerful.

I was hoping you guys would have something such as white papers or tutorials on where to start, do you guys have a table of contents on where to start for a a beginner such as myself, cause if so, point me there, maybe some suggestions to would help. I have tried googling it believe me, thats why i am here. I have many questions, and be not afraid they arent questions that cross the ethical line.

DESCRIPTION

       Functions in this library provide routines for the Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM).

NOTES

       The functions in libpam are MT-Safe only if each thread within the multithreaded application uses its own PAM handle.

       The pam_unix(5) module is no longer supported. Similar functionality is provided  by  pam_authtok_check(5),  pam_authtok_get(5),  pam_auth-
       tok_store(5), pam_dhkeys(5), pam_passwd_auth(5), pam_unix_account(5), pam_unix_auth(5), and pam_unix_session(5).
