PAM_CK_CONNECTOR(8)						 ConsoleKit Manual					       PAM_CK_CONNECTOR(8)

NAME
pam_ck_connector - Register session with ConsoleKit SYNOPSIS
pam_ck_connector.so [debug] DESCRIPTION
The pam_ck_connector PAM module registers a login session with the system-wide ConsoleKit daemon. This PAM module should be used with caution; only local login managers such as login(1) should use this. Since the ConsoleKit daemon can accept both an tty and an X11 display the normal parameters set by PAM are not always useful. An application can therefore override these with the PAM environment variables CKCON_TTY, CKCON_X11_DISPLAY and CKCON_X11_DISPLAY_DEVICE (the application should remember to unset these before starting the login session). Also note that the ConsoleKit daemon may reject registration attempts if the given set of data are inconsistent with each other. More more information, see the ConsoleKit documentation on the OpenSessionWithParameters() method call on the org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager D- Bus interface. If registration with the ConsoleKit daemon succeeds, this PAM module will set the environment variable XDG_SESSION_COOKIE which is used to defined membership of a login session. This PAM module has the side effect that it creates a connection to the system message bus that is kept open until the session ends. This is used by the ConsoleKit daemon to track the life-cycle of the session and, as such, should the login manager crash, the session will be properly unregistered. OPTIONS
debug Print debug information. nox11 Do not create a session if PAM specifies an X11 display instead of a /dev/tty terminal. SEE ALSO

NAME
pam_lastlog - PAM module to display date of last login SYNOPSIS
pam_lastlog.so [debug] [silent] [never] [nodate] [nohost] [noterm] [nowtmp] [noupdate] [showfailed] DESCRIPTION
pam_lastlog is a PAM module to display a line of information about the last login of the user. In addition, the module maintains the /var/log/lastlog file. Some applications may perform this function themselves. In such cases, this module is not necessary. OPTIONS
debug Print debug information. silent Don't inform the user about any previous login, just update the /var/log/lastlog file. never If the /var/log/lastlog file does not contain any old entries for the user, indicate that the user has never previously logged in with a welcome message. nodate Don't display the date of the last login. noterm Don't display the terminal name on which the last login was attempted. nohost Don't indicate from which host the last login was attempted. nowtmp Don't update the wtmp entry. noupdate Don't update any file. showfailed Display number of failed login attempts and the date of the last failed attempt from btmp. The date is not displayed when nodate is specified. MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
Only the session module type is provided. RETURN VALUES
PAM_SUCCESS Everything was successful. PAM_SERVICE_ERR Internal service module error. PAM_USER_UNKNOWN User not known. EXAMPLES
