DH_INSTALLPAM(1)                Debhelper                DH_INSTALLPAM(1)

NAME         top

       dh_installpam - install pam support files

SYNOPSIS         top

       dh_installpam [debhelper options] [--name=name]

DESCRIPTION         top

       dh_installpam is a debhelper program that is responsible for
       installing files used by PAM into package build directories.

FILES         top

       debian/package.pam
           Installed into usr/lib/pam.d/package in the package build
           directory.

           Until compatibility level 14 this file was installed under
           etc/pam.d/package. Please consider using the "rm_conffile"
           feature from dh_installdeb(1) to ensure the proper removal of
           previous PAM files.

OPTIONS         top

       --name=name
           Look for files named debian/package.name.pam and install them
           as usr/lib/pam.d/name, instead of using the usual files and
           installing them using the package name.
