- <para>
- When a <emphasis>PAM</emphasis> aware privilege granting application
- is started, it activates its attachment to the PAM-API. This
- activation performs a number of tasks, the most important being the
- reading of the configuration file(s): <filename>/etc/pam.conf</filename>.
- Alternatively, this may be the contents of the
- <filename>/etc/pam.d/</filename> directory. The presence of this
- directory will cause Linux-PAM to ignore
- <filename>/etc/pam.conf</filename>.
- </para>
- <para>
- These files list the <emphasis>PAM</emphasis>s that will do the
- authentication tasks required by this service, and the appropriate
- behavior of the PAM-API in the event that individual
- <emphasis>PAM</emphasis>s fail.
