        <span class="emphasis"><em>Linux-PAM</em></span>
        (Pluggable Authentication Modules for Linux) is a library that enables
        the local system administrator to choose how individual applications
        authenticate users. For an overview of the
        <span class="emphasis"><em>Linux-PAM</em></span> library see the
        <span class="emphasis"><em>Linux-PAM System Administrators' Guide</em></span>.
      </p><p>
        It is the purpose of the <span class="emphasis"><em>Linux-PAM</em></span>
        project to liberate the development of privilege granting software
        from the development of secure and appropriate authentication schemes.
        This is accomplished by providing a documented library of functions
        that an application may use for all forms of user authentication
        management. This library dynamically loads locally configured
        authentication modules that actually perform the authentication tasks.
      </p><p>
        From the perspective of an application developer the information
        contained in the local configuration of the PAM library should not be
        important. Indeed it is intended that an application treat the
        functions documented here as a 'black box' that will deal with all
        aspects of user authentication. 'All aspects' includes user
        verification, account management, session initialization/termination
        and also the resetting of passwords
        (<span class="emphasis"><em>authentication tokens</em></span>).
