          This option defines the PAM services.  A service typically
          corresponds to a program that uses PAM,
          e.g. <command>login</command> or <command>passwd</command>.
          Each element of this list is an attribute set describing a
          service.  The attribute <varname>name</varname> specifies
          the name of the service.  The attribute
          <varname>rootOK</varname> specifies whether the root user is
          allowed to use this service without authentication.  The
          attribute <varname>ownDevices</varname> specifies whether
          ConsoleKit's PAM connector module should be used to give the
          user ownership of devices such as audio and CD-ROM drives.
          The attribute <varname>forwardXAuth</varname> specifies
          whether X authentication keys should be passed from the
          calling user to the target user (e.g. for
          <command>su</command>).
