DESCRIPTION

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

18
19       The system-auth configuration file is included from all individual ser‐
20       vice configuration files with the help of the include directive.

NOTES

24       There  should  be  no sufficient modules in the session part of system-
25       auth file because individual services may  add  session  modules  after
26       include  of  the  system-auth file. Execution of these modules would be
27       skipped if there were sufficient modules in system-auth file.
28
29
30       Conversely there should not be any modules after include  directive  in
31       the  individual service files in authaccount and password sections oth‐
32       erwise they could be bypassed.
