Dear Sir,
What do I edit in the /etc/pam.d/login .
What are the things that need to be changed in the abovementioned file.
I am really new to Linux world.
Below is the content of the file:
#%PAM-1.0
auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
password required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session optional /lib/security/pam_console.so
Regards,
Ganesh
