Which Hirarchichal order is true...
1)shell-->programs-->thread
2)PAM is
authorize access to user
or
autnticate access to user.

>1)shell->programs->thread

Well a shell is a program. But scripts running under a shell start programs.
And programs have threads.

2) PAM stands for Pluggable Authentication Module, so: authenticate access to user.

shell-->program-->shell-->thread---

|---<------------------------<---|

a program like a script is invoked from a shell, which in-turn invoke another shell to run the program, which can invoke various threads depending upon program, ends the shell when program finish and return back to old shell.

HI all

Pls confirm with evidence as
Hirarchichal order

program->shell->thread is this is correct ?

&
PAM is authorize access to user.

it seems PAM is authorize access to user because its have module for authentication, so no direct authenticate to users. I agree with Taifur

Thanks.
