Chapter 4. Generic optional arguments
Here we list the generic arguments that all modules can expect to
be passed. They are not mandatory, and their absence should be
accepted without comment by the module.
- debug
Use the pam_syslog(3) call to log debugging information to the system
log files.
- use_first_pass
The module should not prompt the user for a password.
Instead, it should obtain the previously typed password
(by a call to pam_get_item()
for the
PAM_AUTHTOK
item), and use that. If
that doesn't work, then the user will not be authenticated.
(This option is intended for auth and
passwd modules only).
