Pluggable Authentication Modules

Hi All-

I am setting up a Red Hat system which I would like to configure PAM on it.

Does anyone have good online documentation explaining the different  
PAM modules? It doesn't need to provide examples, but it would be  
helpful.

Currently I am reading Red Hat documentation, and I know that  
kernel.org had some information back in the day which I can't find now.

Good reads are definitely appreciated!

Thanks!

Re: Pluggable Authentication Modules

Back when I worked with PAM and wrote a few custom modules, I mostly looked at the RedHat documentation.


For more "custom" modules (e.g. pam_mysql) googling it and finding the project page is a good way to find that documentation on what you can do with it.

You can also use the 'man' command to lookup the man pages for them.  (e.g. "man pam_unix" or "man pam_access" has helped me out quite a bit in the past.)

Hope this helps!!
