Hello!
I would like to signal some issues in the FreeBSD PAM Documentation, avail=
able at link:

https://www=2Efreebsd=2Eorg/doc/en_US=2EISO8859-1/articles/pam/

1) Even if maybe PAM isn't so often updated, this guide is "Copyright =C2=
=A9 2001-2003", so maybe too much old=2E
2) Chapters 6 and 7 are blank=2E
3) Section 2=2E2=2E3 is about a "Sample policy"=2E It could be a /etc/pam=
=2Ed/sshd example file, the only example in the whole guide (wouldn't be mo=
re convenient to add other examples?)=2E The elements of the configuration =
files are listed; but what about the actions that PAM will take following t=
hat configuration lines? In particular, informations about the order (why h=
ave the lines be sorted in such an order) and the possible actions caused b=
y each lines are missing=2E This is also related to:
4) Can the Table 1 in Section 4=2E3 be better and more explicitly explaine=
d? I think it is not possible to understand it very well as it is now=2E

Thanks for your help=2E
Bye,

Rocky
