- PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) provides system administrators with a
- powerful method of controlling system access and methods of authentication.
-
- The documentation for PAM is packaged in the "libpam-doc" package. The
- "Linux-PAM System Administrator's Guide" covers configuring PAM, what
- modules are available etc. The documentation also includes "The Linux-PAM
- Application Developers' Guide" and "The Linux-PAM Module Writers' Guide".
