Why authconfig create -ac files

2014-01-12 Thread Miroslav Suchy
I just wonder why `authconfig` creates: /etc/pam.d/system-auth -> system-auth-ac /etc/pam.d/postlogin -> postlogin-ac /etc/pam.d/password-auth -> password-auth-ac etc. Why those links and why -ac suffix? Why it does not modify original files directly? Is there some story behind? Mirek
