NOTES
     The functions in libpam are  MT-Safe  only  if  each  thread
     within  the  multithreaded application uses its own PAM han-
     dle.


     The pam_unix(5) module is no longer supported. Similar func-
     tionality     is     provided    by    pam_authtok_check(5),
     pam_authtok_get(5),   pam_authtok_store(5),   pam_dhkeys(5),
     pam_passwd_auth(5),  pam_unix_account(5),  pam_unix_auth(5),
     and pam_unix_session(5).
