Pluggable Authentication Module
PAM

    (PAM) The new industry standard integrated login
   framework.  PAM is used by system entry components, such as
   the Common Desktop Environment's dtlogin, to authenticate
   users logging into a Unix system.  It provides pluggability
   for a variety of system-entry services.  PAM's ability to
   stack authentication modules can be used to integrate
   login with different authentication mechanisms such as
   RSA, DCE and Kerberos, and thus unify login mechanisms.
   PAM can also integrate smart card authentication.
