Much of the functionality that used to be provided by the shadow
password suite is now handled by PAM. Thus,
- <filename>/etc/login.defs</filename> is no longer used by programs
- such as: <citerefentry>
- <refentrytitle>login</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum>
- </citerefentry>, <citerefentry>
+ <filename>/etc/login.defs</filename> is no longer used by <citerefentry>
<refentrytitle>passwd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum>
- </citerefentry>, <citerefentry>
+ </citerefentry>, or less used by <citerefentry>
+ <refentrytitle>login</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum>
+ </citerefentry>, and <citerefentry>
<refentrytitle>su</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum>
</citerefentry>. Please refer to the corresponding PAM configuration
files instead.
