Re: Checking if PAM is used by login

Thanks, that gives me an indication of PAM activity.

Though I am hoping for something more definitive (in case, for example, the logged activity is old and PAM has since been disabled).

First of all, all Linux distributions (to my knowledge Slackware is the
only exception) use PAM for authentication (login) and password changes.

Second, you should take a look at /var/log/message (or similar) where PAM
is write log messages. For example I have the following in my log:

Jun 26 11:10:01 colws01m crond(pam_unix)[5283]: session opened for user
root by (uid=0)
Jun 26 11:10:01 colws01m crond(pam_unix)[5283]: session closed for user root
