[Solved] What's the pam-auth-update equivalent for arch?

I've tried reading the manual,

pacman -Ql pam | grep bin

but I cannot find how to refresh pam config to newest version?

how to refresh pam config to newest version?

Could you please elaborate on this.  Are you aware of Pacnew_and_Pacsave?

Sure,

if you look at this tutorial: https://developers.yubico.com/yubico-pa … ponse.html
it has

sudo pam-auth-update

step. I assume there's something similar in arch, however I cannot find it.

Also I read pacnew and pacsave and cannot see how is that relevent here?

if you look at this tutorial

Have you seen Yubikey?

There is no such equivalent as there is no other location arch places such config files in to be merged from.
After you alter the files in /etc/pam.d the changes will effect all subsequent relevant pam invocations.

Also I read pacnew and pacsave and cannot see how is that relevent here?

I was wondering if you were expecting pacman to merge configs.

Oh thank you. I think I figured it out and managed to configure yubikey as auth method!

I expected something like update-ca-trust since tutorial mentioned pam-auth-update
