<para>In order to allow <application>Linux-PAM</application> to grant

to the begining of the <filename>/etc/pam.d/system-auth</filename> file.
Make the required edits with the following commands:</para>

tail -n +3 /etc/pam.d/system-auth.bak &gt;&gt; /etc/pam.d/system-auth</userinput></screen>
<para>Additonally, you'll need to modify the
<filename>/etc/security/capability.conf</filename> file to grant necessary
privileges to users, and utilize the <application>setcap</application>
utiltiy to set capabilities on specific utilities as needed. See
<command>man 8 setcap</command> and <command>man 3 cap_from_text</command>
