.SH NAME

postlogin \- Common configuration file for PAMified services

.SH SYNOPSIS
.B /etc/pam.d/postlogin
.sp 2
.SH DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this PAM configuration file is to provide a common
place for all PAM modules which should be called after the stack
configured in
.BR system-auth
or the other common PAM configuration files.

.sp
The
.BR postlogin
configuration file is included from all individual service configuration
files that provide login service with shell or file access.

.SH NOTES
The modules in the postlogin configuration file are executed regardless
of the success or failure of the modules in the
.BR system-auth
configuration file.

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