PAM Configuration File
The /etc/pam.conf file is the configuration file for the PAM
architecture. The /etc/pam.conf file contains a list of services and each
service is paired with a corresponding service module. When a service is
requested, its associated module is invoked. Each entry in the
/etc/pam.conf file has the following format:
Service_name module_type control_flag module_path options.
where,
service_name This option refers to a service.
module_type This option indicates the service module type. The
possible module types include:
• Authentication (auth)
• Account management (account)
• Session management (session)
• Password management (passwd)
control_flag This option determines the behavior of stacking. For
more information on stacking, type man 4 pam. conf
at the HP-UX prompt.
module_path This option specifies the pathname to a shared library
object that implements the service functionality.
options This option is used by the PAM framework layer to
pass module-specific options to the modules. The
module parses and interprets the options. The modules
can use this field to turn on debugging or to pass any
module-specific parameters such as a TIMEOUT value. It
can also be used to support unified login.
you can find the following entries in the /etc/pam.conf file:
# service module control module path
# name type flag
dtlogin auth required /usr/lib/security/libpam_unix.
