WARNINGS

, and group membership for the user trying to log in is
managed by the Network Information Service (NIS), and no NIS server is able to respond,
login
waits
until a server does respond.
DEPENDENCIES
Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM)
PAM is an Open Group standard for user authentication, password modification, and validation of
accounts. In particular,
pam_authenticate()
is invoked to perform all functions related to login.
This includes retrieving the password, validating the account, and displaying error messages.
pam_chauthtok() is invoked during password expiration or establishment.
HP Process Resource Manager
If the optional HP Process Resource Manager (PRM) software is installed and configured, the login shell
is launched in the user’s initial process resource group. If the user’s initial group is not defined, the shell
runs in the user default group (
PRMID=1). See prmconfig(1) for a description of how to configure HP
PRM, and prmconf(4) for a description of how the user’s initial process resource group is determined.
AUTHOR
