.SH NAME
system-auth \- Common configuration file for PAMified services
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B /etc/pam.d/system-auth
.sp 2
.SH DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this configuration file is to provide common
configuration file for all applications and service daemons
calling PAM library.
.sp
The
.BR system-auth
configuration file is included from all individual service configuration
files with the help of the
.BR include
directive.
.SH NOTES
There should be no
.BR sufficient
modules in the
.BR session
part of
.BR system-auth
file because individual services may add session modules after
.BR include
of the
.BR system-auth
file. Execution of these modules would be skipped if there were sufficient
modules in
.BR system-auth
file.
.sp
Conversely there should not be any modules after
.BR include
directive in the individual service files in
.BR auth account
and
.BR password
sections otherwise they could be bypassed.
.SH BUGS
.sp 2
None known.
