Pluggable Authentication Modules
PAMs are another layer of Redhat Security, used mainly with admin tools. PAMs include a number of kernel modules that are loaded dynamically as they are needed and govern how individual applications verify their users.
Configuration Files
PAMs are configure through files in the /etc/pam.d directory, with one file for each application. The files are named after the application they control. To modify the settings for a command or application simply edit the relevant file. The files exist will depend the what packages are installed.
