  Pluggable Authentication Modules - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pluggable authentication modules or PAM are a mechanism to integrate multiple low-level authentication schemes into a high-level API, which allows for programs that rely on authentication to be written independently of the underlying authentication scheme.
PAM were first developed by Sun Microsystems, and are currently supported in AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X and NetBSD.
PAM was later standardized as part of the XOpen UNIX standardization process, resulting in the XSSO standard.

 LinuxDevCenter.com -- Introduction to PAM
PAM provides an interface that programs can use to connect to whatever authentication methods are desired.
PAM is built into many Linux distributions, including Caldera 1.3, 2.2 and later; Debian 2.2 and later; Turbo Linux 3.6 and later; Red Hat 5.0 and later; and SuSE 6.2 (partial support).
PAM modules can be stacked -- there can be any number of modules of the same module type for a single application.

PAM allows you to change your authentication methods and requirements on the fly, and encapsulate all local authentication methods without recompiling any of your binaries.
PAM provides a way for programs authenticate using authentication modules in run-time and is already built in with Solaris and Linux.

 Chapter 16. Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM)
PAM was defined and developed in 1995 by Vipin Samar and Charlie Lai of Sun Microsystems, and has not changed much since.
PAM policies are defined on a per-service basis, so all servers that claim the same service name will be subject to the same policy.
Although Solaris™ PAM modules commonly have a version number, they're not truly versioned, because the number is a part of the module name and must be included in the configuration.

 Abstract
One possible extension to PAM is to allow the passing of module-specific data between applications and PAM modules.
Among the various components of PAM, the password component needs to be carefully examined to see whether the stacking semantics are particularly applicable, and how PAM should deal with partial failures while changing passwords.
The PAM Service Provider Interface is very similar to the PAM API, except for extra parameters to pass module-specific options to the underlying modules.

The contents of this string, called the tuple type, are arbitrary from the point of view of the basic PAM format, but users of the format may assign meaning to it by convention so they can identify their particular implementations of the PAM format.
A convenient way to read and write the PAM format accurately is via the libnetpbm C subroutine library.
Such a PAM image has a depth of 1 and maxval 1 where the one sample in each tuple is 0 to represent a fl pixel and 1 to represent a white one.
