NAME

       postlogin - Common configuration file for PAMified services

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/pam.d/postlogin

DESCRIPTION

       The  purpose of this PAM configuration file is to provide a common place for all PAM modules which should be called after the stack config-
       ured in system-auth or the other common PAM configuration files.

       The postlogin configuration file is included from all individual service configuration files that provide login service with shell or  file
       access.

NOTES

       The modules in the postlogin configuration file are executed regardless of the success or failure of the modules in the system-auth config-
       uration file.

BUGS

       Sometimes it would be useful to be able to skip the postlogin modules in case the substack of the system-auth modules failed. Unfortunately
       the current Linux-PAM library does not provide any way how to achieve this.

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.
