+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The
+\fBpam_sm_authenticate\fR

+Valid flags, which may be logically OR\*(Aqd with
+\fIPAM_SILENT\fR, are:

+.PP
+PAM_DISALLOW_NULL_AUTHTOK
+.RS 4
+Return
+\fBPAM_AUTH_ERR\fR
+if the database of authentication tokens for this authentication mechanism has a

+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.PP
+PAM_AUTH_ERR
