위 파일에 User Authenticatin 방식이 두가지 있다. std_auth와 pam_auth 인데, std_auth는 기본(Default)이고, pam_auth는 /etc/pam.conf 파일을 설정하여 인증하게 된다.

pam.conf 파일이 제대로 설정되지 않은채 pam_auth 인증방식을 선택한다면 ftp/login시 실패할 수도 있다.

The two values to which auth_type can be set are: PAM_AUTH Use PAM to authenticate users via the /etc/pam.conf file STD_AUTH Use an application's standard means of user authentication.
