root and system-auth


I can't seem to find this anywhere. A pointer might help.
anyhoo, if root runs passwd to change a user's password, does the pam.d configuration stettings in system-auth apply?

TIA!

look at /etc/pam.d/passwd

I have one that simply redirects to system-auth:

auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
password required pam_stack.so service=system-auth

so in my case they do apply.
