How is Pam configured in Fedora Linux?

In Fedora Linux, PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) is configured through a series of configuration files located in the /etc/pam.d/ directory. Each service, such as login or SSH, has its own configuration file where administrators can specify authentication methods and policies. PAM's flexibility allows for various modules to be combined for different authentication scenarios, such as password management, account access, and session management. Changes to these files can affect system security and user access, so they should be made with caution.

What does Linux mean?

Linux does not technically stand for anything. It's name was originally created as a shortened form of "Linus's Minix." As this is not really technically accurate, and Linux has grown far beyond Minix in popularity, the name stands as a word in its own right.
