.SH DESCRIPTION
a050086
a050086
The purpose of this PAM configuration file is to provide a common
a050086
place for all PAM modules which should be called after the stack
a050086
configured in
a050086
.BR system-auth
a050086
or the other common PAM configuration files.
a050086
a050086
.sp
a050086
The
a050086
.BR postlogin
a050086
configuration file is included from all individual service configuration
a050086
files that provide login service with shell or file access.
a050086
a050086
.SH NOTES
a050086
The modules in the postlogin configuration file are executed regardless
a050086
of the success or failure of the modules in the
a050086
.BR system-auth
a050086
configuration file.

.SH BUGS
a050086
.sp 2
a050086
Sometimes it would be useful to be able to skip the postlogin modules in
a050086
case the substack of the
a050086
.BR system-auth
a050086
modules failed. Unfortunately the current Linux-PAM library does not
a050086
provide any way how to achieve this.
