Joe, Heiko, thanks a lot for your quick reply. But even if the application itself is responsible for the service name, can I be sure that the following is always true?: PAM_SERVICE = name of the file in the /etc/pam.d directory

Hey Boris,
Now it is even more interesting. I wrote a sample module and I printed
out
the PAM_SERVICE item for FTP connection and it was "ftp" and not "ftpd" So what is it a typo in the Administration Guide?
not at all. Every PAM enabled application chooses its own service name. Therefore it could be anything. It is only a convention to choose the name of the app. Obviously your ftpd chose `ftp' as a service name. That also is why the file in /etc/pam.d is named `ftp' and not `ftpd'. If you dislike that, you may recompile the ftpd with a service name you like.
