A "required" authentication module is added for each of the above GUI logins. The added text is
auth
pam_micasa.so module (if it exists).
Authentication is not added for the two console login authentication files, /etc/pam.d/login
and /etc/pam.d/sshd. This modification is done at install time and is removed at uninstall
time.
IMPORTANT: For the root user, no tree authentication is performed, no automatic login scripts are
run, and no drives are mapped. Therefore, the pam_ncl_autologin.so module always returns
SUCCESSFUL, having done nothing for the root user.
