        <span class="emphasis"><em>Linux-PAM</em></span> has the potential
        to seriously change the security of your system. You can
        choose to have no security or absolute security (no access
        permitted). In general, <span class="emphasis"><em>Linux-PAM</em></span>
        errs towards the latter. Any number of configuration errors
        can dissable access to your system partially, or completely.
      </p><p>
        The most dramatic problem that is likely to be encountered when
        configuring <span class="emphasis"><em>Linux-PAM</em></span> is that of
        <span class="emphasis"><em>deleting</em></span> the configuration file(s):
        <code class="filename">/etc/pam.d/*</code> and/or
        <code class="filename">/etc/pam.conf</code>. This will lock you out of
        your own system!
      </p><p>
        To recover, your best bet is to restore the system from a
        backup or boot the system into a rescue system and correct
        things from there.
