To install the Linux and UNIX driver PAM or LAM module:
Log in to the target system as root, and run the installation script.
For details, see Section 3.5, Running the Installation Script.
When prompted for the type of installation, enter the option for .
For AIX systems, the option presented is . AIX version 5.3 can use PAM, but previous AIX versions must use LAM.
Respond to additional prompts as appropriate.
If the driver shim is already installed, you can run the nxdrv-config command to reconfigure the PAM or LAM Module. For details about using the nxdrv-config command, see Section C.1, Using the nxdrv-config Command.
NOTE:The Red Hat* AS 2.1 and 3.0 PAM module pam_unix.so does not work with the Linux and UNIX driver PAM module. Edit the PAM configuration file to use pam_pwdb.so (located in the /lib/security directory) instead. For details about editing the PAM configuration file, see Section C.4, PAM Configuration Details.
