+pam_userdb — PAM module to authenticate against a db database
+
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+The pam_userdb module is used to verify a username/password pair against values
+stored in a Berkeley DB database. The database is indexed by the username, and
+the data fields corresponding to the username keys are the passwords.
+
+OPTIONS
+
+crypt=[crypt|none]
+
+    Indicates whether encrypted or plaintext passwords are stored in the
+    database. If it is crypt, passwords should be stored in the database in 
+    crypt(3) form. If none is selected, passwords should be stored in the
+    database as plaintext.
+
+db=/path/database
+
+    Use the /path/database database for performing lookup. There is no default;
+    the module will return PAM_IGNORE if no database is provided. Note that the
+    path to the database file should be specified without the .db suffix.
+
+debug
+
+    Print debug information.
+
+dump
+
+    Dump all the entries in the database to the log. Don't do this by default!
+
+icase
+
+    Make the password verification to be case insensitive (ie when working with
+    registration numbers and such). Only works with plaintext password storage.
+
+try_first_pass
+
+    Use the authentication token previously obtained by another module that did
+    the conversation with the application. If this token can not be obtained
+    then the module will try to converse. This option can be used for stacking
+    different modules that need to deal with the authentication tokens.
+
+use_first_pass
+
+    Use the authentication token previously obtained by another module that did
+    the conversation with the application. If this token can not be obtained
+    then the module will fail. This option can be used for stacking different
+    modules that need to deal with the authentication tokens.
+
+unknown_ok
+
+    Do not return error when checking for a user that is not in the database.
+    This can be used to stack more than one pam_userdb module that will check a
+    username/password pair in more than a database.
+
+key_only
+
+    The username and password are concatenated together in the database hash as
+    'username-password' with a random value. if the concatenation of the
+    username and password with a dash in the middle returns any result, the
+    user is valid. this is useful in cases where the username may not be unique
+    but the username and password pair are.
