NAME

SYNOPSIS

10       /etc/pam.d/postlogin
11

DESCRIPTION

15       The purpose of this PAM configuration file is to provide a common place
16       for all PAM modules which should be called after the  stack  configured
17       in system-auth or the other common PAM configuration files.
18
19
20       The  postlogin  configuration file is included from all individual ser‐
21       vice configuration files that provide login service with shell or  file
22       access.

NOTES

26       The modules in the postlogin configuration file are executed regardless
27       of the success or failure of the modules in the system-auth  configura‐
28       tion file.

BUGS

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