login.defs (dari paket login) akan selalu di pakai tetapi beberapa option
yang berkaitan dengan autentifikasi di handle di pam.d/{login,su}

login.defs(5) :
       The  /etc/login.defs  file  defines the site-specific configuration for the shadow login suite.
       This file is required.  Absence of this file will not prevent system operation, but will proba-
       bly result in undesirable operation.

/etc/login.defs :
################# OBSOLETED BY PAM ##############
#                                               #
# These options are now handled by PAM. Please  #
# edit the appropriate file in /etc/pam.d/ to   #
# enable the equivelants of them.
#
###############

/etc/pam.d sendiri tidak hanya di pakai oleh login, beberapa paket lain :

[root@Sniper:~]# dlocate /etc/pam.d
libpam-runtime: /etc/pam.d
libpam-runtime: /etc/pam.d/other
login: /etc/pam.d
login: /etc/pam.d/login
login: /etc/pam.d/su
passwd: /etc/pam.d

cron: /etc/pam.d

ppp: /etc/pam.d

qpopper: /etc/pam.d
