PAM for Debian
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) provides system administrators with a
|
|
powerful method of controlling system access and methods of authentication.
|
|
|
|
The documentation for PAM is packaged in the "libpam-doc" package. The
|
|
"Linux-PAM System Administrator's Guide" covers configuring PAM, what
|
|
modules are available etc. The documentation also includes "The Linux-PAM
|
|
Application Developers' Guide" and "The Linux-PAM Module Writers' Guide".
|
|
|
|
The Debian default configuration is to emulate the old UNIX authentication.
