For OpenSSH, by default it's the name of the server binary which is 
"sshd" in a normal installation.  You can override this at build time by 
specifying a custom "SSHD_PAM_SERVICE" #define.

Quoth the INSTALL file:

"If you are using PAM, you may need to manually install a PAM control
file as "/etc/pam.d/sshd" (or wherever your system prefers to keep
them).  Note that the service name used to start PAM is __progname,
which is the basename of the path of your sshd (e.g., the service name
for /usr/sbin/osshd will be osshd).  If you have renamed your sshd
executable, your PAM configuration may need to be modified."

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
