As request by @jimcat8, we need a PAM documentation.

Here is the translation of my initial PAM doc (for centos 7).

Please consider making the tests needed to validate the good functionnement of the modules (does they still exist?).

Hope this doc will help you @jimcat8

Thx @sspencerwire for the review

Adding this to my to-do list.

Adding this to my to-do list.

As you are planning on doing the editing on this @EzequielBruni, I'm just going to run it through some testing on both 8.6 and 9.0. It should work the same way as here, but since it was written for CentOS 7, it's probably a good idea to test it. Don't let it hold up your edit and merge, however. I can always push any changes or notes needed after testing. Thank you, and welcome back!!

Instead of testing, I checked out release notes associated with upstream between 7 and 8 and 8 and 9, and the only item that I found that is different, isn't mentioned in @alemorvan 's document, so you can edit and merge when ready. Thank you!!

@sspencerwire I made a few significant edits, and for some reason I was forced to make a new branch. If you wouldn't mind double checking my work, I'd appreciate it.
