pam_loginuid

PAM_LOGINUID(8) 						 Linux-PAM Manual						   PAM_LOGINUID(8)

NAME

       pam_loginuid - Record user's login uid to the process attribute

SYNOPSIS

       pam_loginuid.so [require_auditd]

DESCRIPTION

       The pam_loginuid module sets the loginuid process attribute for the process that was authenticated. This is necessary for applications to
       be correctly audited. This PAM module should only be used for entry point applications like: login, sshd, gdm, vsftpd, crond and atd. There
       are probably other entry point applications besides these. You should not use it for applications like sudo or su as that defeats the
       purpose by changing the loginuid to the account they just switched to.

OPTIONS

       require_auditd
	   This option, when given, will cause this module to query the audit daemon status and deny logins if it is not running.

MODULE TYPES PROVIDED

       Only the session module type is provided.

RETURN VALUES

       PAM_SESSION_ERR
	   An error occurred during session management.

EXAMPLES

	   #%PAM-1.0
	   auth       required	   pam_unix.so
	   auth       required	   pam_nologin.so
	   account    required	   pam_unix.so
	   password   required	   pam_unix.so
	   session    required	   pam_unix.so
	   session    required	   pam_loginuid.so
