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>.

- <filename>/etc/pam.conf</filename>.
+ Alternatively and preferably, the configuration can be set by individual
