When an application +attempts to authenticate the user, a pam_timestamp will treat a sufficiently +recent timestamp file as grounds for succeeding. + +OPTIONS + +timestampdir=directory + + Specify an alternate directory where pam_timestamp creates timestamp files. + +timestamp_timeout=number + + How long should pam_timestamp treat timestamp as valid after their last + modification date (in seconds). Default is 300 seconds. + +verbose + + Attempt to inform the user when access is granted. + +debug + + Turns on debugging messages sent to syslog(3). + +NOTES + +Users can get confused when they are not always asked for passwords when +running a given program. Some users reflexively begin typing information before +noticing that it is not being asked for. + +EXAMPLES + +auth sufficient pam_timestamp.so verbose +auth required pam_unix.so + +session required pam_unix.so +session optional pam_timestamp.so + + +AUTHOR + +pam_timestamp was written by Nalin Dahyabhai. + diff --git a/modules/pam_timestamp/README.xml b/modules/pam_timestamp/README.xml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..5b72deb --- /dev/null +++ b/modules/pam_timestamp/README.xml @@ -0,0 +1,46 @@ +<?xml version="1.0" encoding='UTF-8'?> +<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.3//EN" +"http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.3/docbookx.dtd" +[ +<!-- +<!ENTITY pamaccess SYSTEM "pam_timestamp.8.xml"> +--> +]> + +<article> + + <articleinfo> + + <title> + <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" + href="pam_timestamp.8.xml" xpointer='xpointer(//refnamediv[@id = "pam_timestamp-name"]/*)'/> + </title> + + </articleinfo> + + <section> + <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" + href="pam_timestamp.8.xml" xpointer='xpointer(//refsect1[@id = "pam_timestamp-description"]/*)'/> + </section> + + <section> + <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" + href="pam_timestamp.8.xml" xpointer='xpointer(//refsect1[@id = "pam_timestamp-options"]/*)'/> + </section> + + <section> + <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" + href="pam_timestamp.8.xml" xpointer='xpointer(//refsect1[@id = "pam_timestamp-notes"]/*)'/> + </section> + + <section> + <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" + href="pam_timestamp.8.xml" xpointer='xpointer(//refsect1[@id = "pam_timestamp-examples"]/*)'/> + </section> + + <section> + <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" + href="pam_timestamp.8.xml" xpointer='xpointer(//refsect1[@id = "pam_timestamp-author"]/*)'/> + </section> + +</article> |
