On a less sensitive computer, one on which the system
administrator wishes to remain ignorant of much of the
power of Linux-PAM, the
following selection of lines (in
/etc/pam.d/other) is likely to
mimic the historically familiar Linux setup.
#
# default; standard UN*X access
#
auth required pam_unix.so
account required pam_unix.so
password required pam_unix.so
session required pam_unix.so
In general this will provide a starting place for most applications.
