>Description:
The online man page (FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE and Ports) for pam_unix states:
"The UNIX authentication service module for PAM, pam_unix provides func-
tionality for two PAM categories: authentication and account management.
In terms of the module-type parameter, they are the ``auth'' and
``account'' features. It also provides a null function for session man-
agement."
I believe the above description should also include the "password"
facility (feature), which is described further down the same man page:
"UNIX Password Management Module
The UNIX password management component provides a function to perform
account management, pam_sm_chauthtok(). The function changes the user's
password."
In the preceding paragraph, "account management" should be changed to
"password management".
