pam
— Good introductory information on PAM, including the structure and purpose of the PAM configuration files.
Note that this man page discusses both /etc/pam.conf
and individual configuration files in the /etc/pam.d/
directory. By default, Fedora uses the individual configuration files in the /etc/pam.d/
directory, ignoring /etc/pam.conf
even if it exists.
pam_console
— Describes the purpose of the pam_console.so
module. It also describes the appropriate syntax for an entry within a PAM configuration file.
console.apps
— Describes the format and options available in the /etc/security/console.apps
configuration file, which defines which applications are accessible by the console user assigned by PAM.
console.perms
— Describes the format and options available in the /etc/security/console.perms
configuration file, which specifies the console user permissions assigned by PAM.
pam_timestamp
— Describes the pam_timestamp.so
module.
