The focus of this chapter is practical applications of PAM. Since PAM is a generic framework, it can be used in many different situations.
The number of recipes presented in this chapter is limited, and they should not be read as a cookbook but merely as a set of working solutions. Probably, you will have to adjust a recipe to your environment and your problem. The art of the systems administrator is the art of adjustment. The purpose of the recipes is to show how various PAM modules can work together in real-world situations.
