+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+ <para>
+ The pam_env PAM module allows the (un)setting of environment
+ variables. Supported is the use of previously set environment
+ variables as well as <emphasis>PAM_ITEM</emphasis>s such as
+ <emphasis>PAM_RHOST</emphasis>.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ By default rules for (un)setting of variables are taken from the
+ config file <filename>/etc/security/pam_env.conf</filename>. An
+ alternate file can be specified with the <emphasis>conffile</emphasis>
+ option.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Second a file (<filename>/etc/environment</filename> by default) with simple
+ <emphasis>KEY=VAL</emphasis> pairs on separate lines will be read.
+ With the <emphasis>envfile</emphasis> option an alternate file can be specified.
+ And with the <emphasis>readenv</emphasis> option this can be completly disabled.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Third it will read a user configuration file
+ (<filename>$HOME/.pam_environment</filename> by default).
+ The default file file can be changed with the
+ <emphasis>user_envfile</emphasis> option
+ and it can be turned on and off with the <emphasis>user_readenv</emphasis> option.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Since setting of PAM environment variables can have side effects
+ to other modules, this module should be the last one on the stack.
