SYSTEM-AUTH(5)							 Linux-PAM Manual						    SYSTEM-AUTH(5)

NAME

       system-auth - Common configuration file for PAMified services

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/pam.d/system-auth /etc/pam.d/password-auth /etc/pam.d/fingerprint-auth /etc/pam.d/smartcard-auth

DESCRIPTION

       The  purpose  of  these configuration files are to provide a common interface for all applications and service daemons calling into the PAM
       library.

       The system-auth configuration file is included from nearly all individual service configuration files with the help of the substack  direc-
       tive.

       The password-auth fingerprint-auth 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.

NOTES

       Previously these common configuration files were included with the help of the include directive. This limited the  use	of  the  different
       action types of modules.  With the use of substack directive to include these common configuration files this limitation no longer applies.

BUGS

       None known.

SEE ALSO

       pam(8), config-util(5), postlogin(5)
