+# /etc/pam.d/common-session - session-related modules common to all services
+#
+# This file is included from other service-specific PAM config files,
+# and should contain a list of modules that define tasks to be performed
+# at the start and end of sessions of *any* kind (both interactive and
+# non-interactive).
+#
+
+# here are the per-package modules (the "Primary" block)
+session	[default=1]			pam_permit.so
+# here's the fallback if no module succeeds
+session	requisite			pam_deny.so
+# prime the stack with a positive return value if there isn't one already;
+# this avoids us returning an error just because nothing sets a success code
+# since the modules above will each just jump around
+session	required			pam_permit.so
+# and here are more per-package modules (the "Additional" block)
+session	required	pam_unix.so quiet
