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 inter-
       face  for  all  applications  and  service daemons calling into the PAM
       library.
       The system-auth configuration file is included from nearly all individ-
       ual  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.
