You need to configure the software once you build and install it. You will need to recompile your shadow package to use pam after you build pam and install pam. Keep a bootable CD handy that lets you mount your hard disk / in case you make some mistakes. In /etc/security you should have: access.conf group.conf limits.conf pam_env.conf time.conf In /etc/pam.d you should have (ftp and sshd only if you really have ftp and sshd and they are pam-aware): chage chsh groupdel newusers shadow useradd chfn ftp groupmod other sshd userdel chpasswd groupadd login passwd su usermod The /etc/security files set policy for the entire pam system, and the /etc/pam.d files configure the pam stack for each application. Every pam-aware program will need a file in /etc/pam.d/ and normally the filename in /etc/pam.d is the same as the program name, but not always (check documentation with the program when you build it). For my system, the /etc/pam.d/login file looks like this with comments removed: auth required pam_issue.so issue=/etc/issue auth requisite pam_securetty.so auth requisite pam_nologin.so auth required pam_env.so auth required pam_unix.so auth required pam_shells.so account required pam_access.so account required pam_unix.so session required pam_motd.so session required pam_limits.so session optional pam_mail.so dir=/var/spool/mail standard session optional pam_lastlog.so session required pam_unix.so password required pam_unix.so md5 shadow I use the /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group, and /etc/gshadow files for my user and group maps.
