Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) is a system security tool that allows system administrators to set authentication policies without having to recompile programs that do authentication. This package contains useful extra modules eg pam_userdb which is used to verify a username/password pair against values stored in a Berkeley DB database.
