The online man page (FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE and Ports) for pam_unix states: "The UNIX authentication service module for PAM, pam_unix provides func- tionality for two PAM categories: authentication and account management. In terms of the module-type parameter, they are the ``auth'' and ``account'' features. It also provides a null function for session man- agement." I believe the above description should also include the "password" facility (feature), which is described further down the same man page: "UNIX Password Management Module The UNIX password management component provides a function to perform account management, pam_sm_chauthtok(). The function changes the user's password." In the preceding paragraph, "account management" should be changed to "password management".
