POSTLOGIN(5)                                       Linux-PAM Manual                                      POSTLOGIN(5)



NAME
       postlogin - Common configuration file for PAMified services


SYNOPSIS
       /etc/pam.d/postlogin



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 system-auth or the other common PAM configuration files.


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


NOTES
       The  modules in the postlogin configuration file are executed regardless of the success or failure of the mod‐
       ules in the system-auth configuration file.


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