Man Pages

The installation process adds man pages for the driver shim, change log update command, and shared memory tool to /usr/man.

Driver Shim Configuration File

The installation program places a default driver shim configuration file at /etc/nxdrv.conf.

C.7.2 Driver PAM Files

The driver installation script adds the driver PAM module to the appropriate library, and adds a line to the PAM configuration file for the pam-password function. The location of these depends on the operating system used by the connected system. For details, see Table C-3, PAM Modules and your operating system’s PAM documentation.

C.7.3 Driver LAM Files

The installation script installs the LAM module NXDRV into the /usr/lib/security directory of the connected AIX system, and adds an NXDRV stanza to /usr/lib/security/methods.cfg.
