<hr />
<div>To use PAM, the {{Pkg|linux-pam}} package itself must be installed as well as something for logging into the system that supports PAM. The <code>login</code> bundled with <code>busybox</code> does not support PAM. Instead, one of the following may be used:<br />
<br />
* {{Pkg|greetd}} plus any greeter ({{Pkg|greetd-agreety}} looks like login). See ([https://git.sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/greetd greetd's website] for more information).<br />
* <code>login(1)</code> provided by {{Pkg|shadow-login}}<br />
* <code>login(1)</code> provided by {{Pkg|util-linux-login}}<br />
<br />
== ulimit ==<br />
<br />
<code>ulimit</code> permissions can be changed via <code>/etc/security/limits.conf</code>. These will only apply if a PAM-compatible tool is used for logging in (as indicated above).<br />
