>Description:
The online man page (FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE and Ports) for pam_unix states:

"The UNIX authentication service module for PAM, pam_unix provides func-
tionality for two PAM categories: authentication and account management.
In terms of the module-type parameter, they are the ``auth'' and
``account'' features.  It also provides a null function for session man-
agement."

I believe the above description should also include the "password" 
facility (feature), which is described further down the same man page:

"UNIX Password Management Module
     The UNIX password management component provides a function to perform
     account management, pam_sm_chauthtok().  The function changes the user's
     password."

In the preceding paragraph, "account management" should be changed to
"password management".
