-pam_unix comes as one module pam_unix.so.

-The following links are left for compatibility with old versions:
-pam_unix_auth: authentication module providing
- pam_authenticate() and pam_setcred() hooks
-pam_unix_sess: session module, providing session logging
-pam_unix_acct: account management, providing shadow account
- managment features, password aging etc..
-pam_unix_passwd: password updating facilities providing
- cracklib password strength checking facilities.
-
-The following options are recognized:
- debug - log more debugging info
- audit - a little more extreme than debug
- use_first_pass - don't prompt the user for passwords
- take them from PAM_ items instead
- try_first_pass - don't prompt the user for the passwords
- unless PAM_(OLD)AUTHTOK is unset
- use_authtok - like try_first_pass, but * fail * if the new
- PAM_AUTHTOK has not been previously set.
- (intended for stacking password modules only)
- not_set_pass - don't set the PAM_ items with the passwords
- used by this module.
- shadow - try to maintian a shadow based system.
- md5 - when a user changes their password next,
- encrypt it with the md5 algorithm.
- bigcrypt - when a user changes their password next,
- excrypt it with the DEC C2 - algorithm(0).
- nodelay - used to prevent failed authentication
- resulting in a delay of about 1 second.
- nis - use NIS RPC for setting new password
- remember=X - remember X old passwords, they are kept in
- /etc/security/opasswd in MD5 crypted form
-
