Показать описание
We can now dive into PAM in Linux. Pluggable Authentication Modules and how they work. Developed first in 1997 you will find them on all Linux distros allows authentication programs to share modules used in authentication. We look at using them to create home directories if they do not already exist

It is a shame Andrew doesn’t have more than 1 million subscribers. He is maybe the oldest Linux YouTuber and always with relevant content.

Thank you for this, genuinely. Deep diving docs on these critical but often archaic systems can be extremely tedious.

Another awesome video from my favorite YouTuber, thank you. I got a question, how does PAM lock user out after account after multiple attempts or user haven’t logon after x amount of days?

Thanks. Very concise.
Also, this gem: "... now I can clear the screen with control and L". I've been using bash a long time and didn't know that one :)

The amount of times I've locked myself out of my desktop when messing with PAM is a lot :) Last time I did it I was trying to add a second factor key.

Thanks for the video and the great intro to pam, I can confirm that in slackware the manual pages for pam modules are present, eg man pam_mkhomedir without the .so suffix. I imagine this is the case for the other linux systems too.

Great video, very informative! ... I'm curious, what's your take on Rocky Linux? Do you prefer AlmaLinux? if so, why?

Hello. How can I use PAM for Rocky Linux? I need to use it for authentication of an FTP service against a Mysql database. I could do it for Debian, but I can't get the library for Rocky. Might you help me?

I do not get. Home dir is automatically created when we make user.

Dont talk about PAM in front of your GF. Linux is great but can "kill -9" your-relationship.
