Much more information about PAM is available than what is covered in
this chapter. Various additional sources of information exist and will
prove invaluable in helping to configure and use PAM on your system.
pam man page — Good introductory
information on PAM, including the structure and purpose of the PAM
configuration files.
/usr/share/doc/pam—<version-number>
— Contains excellent HTML documentation on PAM, including a System
Administrators' Guide, a Module Writers'
Manual, and an Application Developers'
Manual. Also contains a copy of the PAM standard,
DCE-RFC 86.0.
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam
— The primary distribution website for the Linux-PAM
project, containing information on various PAM modules and
applications in use or in development, a FAQ, and additional PAM
documentation.
In addition to these sources, we suggest that you read as many
configuration file examples as possible when beginning to work with
PAM. Many websites offer code examples, both for administrators who want
to change default configuration files and for application developers who
want to use PAM with their programs.
