.Sh NOTES
It is important to note that loading a chain will fail if any of the
components of the chain fail to load or are not available.
A common situation when this can happen is on a system that where
components such as
.Xr kerberos 1
or
.Xr crypto 3
have not been installed.
In that situation
.Xr pam_krb5 8 ,
.Xr pam_ksu 8 ,
or
.Xr pam_ssh 8
might not be present in the system.
In order for a chain to load properly all non-present components must
be removed from the chain.
