Point out the Reddit reply
  • I've recently gained some PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) knowledge. I had written a [Reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1bxvcbq/comment/l7ekx49/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) and then thought the stuff I shared would fit well here.
  • Do domain-specific how-to questions like this fit well within the Q&A category, or would this work better in something like a "Recipes" category?
  • ("Domain-specific" here means, "related to a particular aspect of Linux Systems management or development." E.g. the "domain" in this case is PAM application and module development. Thus the title of the question I would post is, "What is the process for writing PAM modules and applications?")

Clarify meaning of "general how-to"
  • Do general how-to's fit well within Q&A?
  • Do domain-specific how-to's fit well within Q&A?

Does this fit well within the Q&A category, or would this work better in something similar to a "Recipes" category?
