SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

16       The purpose of this configuration file is to provide common  configura‐
17       tion file for all applications and service daemons calling PAM library.

19
20       The system-auth configuration file is included from all individual ser‐
21       vice configuration files with the help of the include  directive.  When
22       authconfig(8)  writes the system PAM configuration file it replaces the
23       default system-auth file with a symlink pointing to system-auth-ac  and
24       writes  the  configuration  to this file. The symlink is not changed on
25       subsequent configuration changes even  if  it  points  elsewhere.  This
26       allows  system  administrators to override the configuration written by
27       authconfig.

EXAMPLE

31       Configure system to use pam_tally2 for configuration of maximum  number
32       of failed logins. Also call pam_access to verify if access is allowed.
33
34       Make system-auth symlink point to system-auth-local which contains:
35
36       auth            requisite       pam_access.so
37       auth            requisite       pam_tally2.so deny=3 lock_time=30 \
38                                             unlock_time=3600
39       auth            include         system-auth-ac
40       account         required        pam_tally2.so
41       account         include         system-auth-ac
42       password        include         system-auth-ac
43       session         include         system-auth-ac
