<abstract>
This manual documents what a system-administrator needs to know about
the <bf>Linux-PAM</bf> library. It covers the correct syntax of the
configuration but not both. That is to say, if there is a
<tt>/etc/pam.d/</tt> directory then libpam only uses the files
contained in this directory. However, in the absence of the
-<tt>/etc/pam.d/</tt> directory the <tt>/etc/pam.conf</tt> file is
-used. The other mode (and the one currently supported by Red Hat 4.2
-and higher) is to use both <tt>/etc/pam.d/</tt> and
+<tt>/etc/pam.d/</tt> directory the <tt>/etc/pam.conf</tt> file is used
+(this is likely to be the mode your preferred distribution uses). The
+other mode is to use both <tt>/etc/pam.d/</tt> and
<tt>/etc/pam.conf</tt> in sequence. In this mode, entries in
<tt>/etc/pam.d/</tt> override those of <tt>/etc/pam.conf</tt>.
