When writing a pam application, you specify which service you are going to request, such as "sshd" or "ssh". Simple, really, which is the entire intent of the PAM system.

Hi all, can someone please shed some lite on this one. According to the Pam Administration Guide:
service-name
The name of the service associated with this entry. Frequently the service name is the conventional name of the given application. For example, `ftpd', `rlogind' and `su', etc. .
Then:
More flexible than the single configuration file, as of version 0.56, it is possible to configure libpam via the contents of the /etc/pam.d/ directory. In this case the directory is filled with files each of which has a filename equal to a service-name (in lower-case): it is the personal configuration file for the named service.
Now, in my distributaion the FTP configuration file is /etc/pam.d/ftp and not ftpd as mentioned above.
So the question is how does PAM know which file to use? I'm also thinking about writing my own PAM-enabled application. How do I make sure that the right configuration file will be picked up?
Thanks in advance
Boris
