• Uses value=action pairs in the control flag field,
allowing full control of PAM actions
– [user_unknown=ignore success=ok ignore=ignore
default=bad]
• Uses authentication module arguments
– pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass
– pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 500 quiet
• Includes the contents of the common configuration file,
system-auth
– system-auth is included in nearly all individual service
configuration files.
– system-auth is auto-generated each time the
authconfig command runs.
