This is similar mechanism which is used in +sudo. + + + When an application opens a session using pam_timestamp, +a timestamp file is created in the timestampdir directory +for the user. When an application attempts to authenticate the user, a +pam_timestamp will treat a sufficiently recent timestamp +file as grounds for succeeding. + + + + + + OPTIONS + + + + + + + + Specify an alternate directory where + pam_timestamp creates timestamp files. + + + + + + + + + + How long should pam_timestamp + treat timestamp as valid after their + last modification date (in seconds). Default is 300 seconds. + + + + + + + + + + Attempt to inform the user when access is granted. + + + + + + + + + + Turns on debugging messages sent to + syslog3 + . + + + + + + + + MODULE TYPES PROVIDED + + The and + module types are provided. + + + + + RETURN VALUES + + + PAM_AUTH_ERR + + + The module was not able to retrieve the user name or + no valid timestamp file was found. + + + + + PAM_SUCCESS + + + Everything was successful. + + + + + PAM_SESSION_ERR + + + Timestamp file could not be created or updated. + + + + + + + + NOTES + + Users can get confused when they are not always asked for passwords when +running a given program.
