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 interface for all  appli-
       cations and service daemons calling into the PAM library.


       The system-auth configuration file is included from nearly all individual service configu-
       ration files with the help of the substack directive.


       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.
