Orphan date February 2009 The Environment Modules system is a tool to help users manage their Unix or Linux shell environment, by allowing groups of related environment variable settings to be made or removed dynamically. It has been around since the early nineties, but seems to be used mainly at large computer centers, where it s used to deploy multiple versions of different software tools to users. The modules system is based on modulefiles, which specify groups of environment settings that need to be made together. Modulefiles can be installed in a central location for general use, or in a user directory for personal use. The module command can then be used to load or unload these modules in your environment, to list the available or loaded modules, show what settings they make, etc. External links http modules.sourceforge.net home page for the Environment Modules project John L.

nofootnotes date September 2010 Linux Pluggable Authentication Modules PAM provide dynamic authorization for applications and services in a Linux system. Linux PAM is evolved from the Unix Pluggable Authentication Modules architecture. There are four groups for independent management Account modules check that the specified account is a valid authentication target under current conditions. This may include conditions like account expiration, time of day, and that the user has access to the requested service. Authentication modules verify the user s identity, for example by requesting and checking a password or other secret. They may also pass authentication information on to other systems like a keyring . Password modules are responsible for updating passwords, and are generally coupled to modules employed in the authentication step. They may also be used to enforce strong passwords. Session modules define actions that are performed at the beginning and end of sessions. A session starts after the user has successfully authenticated.

Linux is a Unix like computer operating system kernel. It has been ported to a vast variety of computer architectures. File system Like all Unix systems, its file system is based on one root directory, or hierarchical top point with subdirectories underneath it. Some sub directories act as mount points, where different physical or networked file system s may be incorporated. The hardware is also incorporated into the file hierarchy. Device drivers interface to user applications via an entry in the tt dev tt directory. Process information as well is mapped to the file system through the tt proc tt directory. Unix security systems were designed into the architecture. Raw hardware devices are protected from direct access, and the file system has an inbuilt security system giving individual access to files on three levels, user only, group membership, and world access. Each category has read, executable and write flags that may be set in any combination. Kernel or System Software The Linux kernel includes true multitasking, virtual memory , shared library shared libraries , demand loading, shared copy on write executables, proper memory management , and TCP IP computer network networking .
