Current design
Installed files
Currently the following files are installed by pambase:
/etc/pam.d/login /etc/pam.d/passwd /etc/pam.d/su /etc/pam.d/system-auth /etc/pam.d/system-login /etc/pam.d/system-local-login /etc/pam.d/system-remote-login /etc/pam.d/system-services /etc/pam.d/other
The files starting with 'system' prefix are intended to be used by other PAM files. In particular:
- system-auth is used whenever user authentication is desired. It is included in PAM files for account manipulation tools (passwd, chsh, ...), authenticated daemons (imap, pop3), xscreensaver (for screen locking) and system-login.
- system-login is used whenever login is done. It is currently included only in system-local-login and system-remote-login.
- system-local-login is used whenever local system login is performed. It is used by login and display managers.
- system-remote-login is used whenever remote system login is performed. It is used by sshd.
- system-services is used whenever system daemons are started. It is used by start-stop-daemon and systemd.
