|
|
|
|
|
different types of devices via simultaneously running individual conversations
|
|
|
|
|
instead of one aggregate conversation.

.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.
|
|
|

Conversely there should not be any modules after

|
directive in the individual service files in
|
|
|
