Yes, but a missing definition for any service other than "other" will cause libpam to read a default setup from the configuration for the "other" service. (If there is none, then I'm not sure what happens.) Generally I recommend locking down "other" to prevent possibly unexpected behavior when a configuration file is missing, but various people have differing opinions on that. Nalin
