Since your message is timestamped 19 hrs ago I'm assuming you're up to
speed on this; include simply tells PAM to include all lines of given
type from the configuration file given as an argument to the specified
control-flag. It is what it says it is, an include, so that you can
*WORM* your config info. <br>
<br>
As for your 'system' module, when called as your config path/file, that
would seem like an alternate syntax for 'system-auth' which is
often/usually paired with 'include' to call your system's default
authentication rules. <br>
