Valid Service Names for PAM (System Administration Guide: Security Services)

System Administration Guide: Security Services

Valid Service Names for PAM

The following table lists:

The valid service names
The module types that can be used with that service
The daemon or command that is associated with the service name

Some module types are not appropriate for each service. For example, the password module type is appropriate for only the passwd command. Also, because the passwd command is not concerned with authentication, no auth module type is associated with the service.
