+pam_stress \- The stress\-testing PAM module
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.HP \w'\fBpam_stress\&.so\fR\ 'u
+\fBpam_stress\&.so\fR [debug] [no_warn] [use_first_pass] [try_first_pass] [rootok] [expired] [fail_1] [fail_2] [prelim] [required]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The pam_stress PAM module is mainly intended to give the impression of failing as a fully functioning module might\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+\fBdebug\fR
+.RS 4
+Put lots of information in syslog\&. *NOTE* this option writes passwords to syslog, so don\*(Aqt use anything sensitive when testing\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBno_warn\fR
+.RS 4
+Do not give warnings about things (otherwise warnings are issued via the conversation function)
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBuse_first_pass\fR
+.RS 4
+Do not prompt for a password, for pam_sm_authentication function just use item PAM_AUTHTOK\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBtry_first_pass\fR
+.RS 4
+Do not prompt for a password unless there has been no previous authentication token (item PAM_AUTHTOK is NULL)
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBrootok\fR
+.RS 4
+This is intended for the pam_sm_chauthtok function and it instructs this function to permit root to change the user\*(Aqs password without entering the old password\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBexpired\fR
+.RS 4
+An argument intended for the account and chauthtok module parts\&. It instructs the module to act as if the user\*(Aqs password has expired
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBfail_1\fR
+.RS 4
+This instructs the module to make its first function fail\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBfail_2\fR
+.RS 4
+This instructs the module to make its second function (if there is one) fail\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBprelim\fR
+.RS 4
+For pam_sm_chauthtok, means fail on PAM_PRELIM_CHECK\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBrequired\fR
+.RS 4
+For pam_sm_chauthtok, means fail if the user hasn\*(Aqt already been authenticated by this module\&. (See stress_new_pwd data string in the NOTES\&.)
+.RE
+.SH "MODULE TYPES PROVIDED"
+.PP
+All module types (\fBauth\fR,
+\fBaccount\fR,
+\fBpassword\fR
+and
+\fBsession\fR) are provided\&.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.PP
+PAM_BUF_ERR
+.RS 4
+Memory buffer error\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+PAM_PERM_DENIED
+.RS 4
+Permission denied\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+PAM_AUTH_ERR
+.RS 4
+Access to the system was denied\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+PAM_CONV_ERR
+.RS 4
+Conversation failure\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+PAM_SUCCESS
+.RS 4
+The function passes all checks\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
+.RS 4
+The user is not known to the system\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+PAM_CRED_ERR
+.RS 4
+Failure involving user credentials\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+PAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD
+.RS 4
+Authentication token is no longer valid; new one required\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+PAM_SESSION_ERR
+.RS 4
+Session failure\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+PAM_TRY_AGAIN
+.RS 4
+Failed preliminary check by service\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+PAM_AUTHTOK_LOCK_BUSY
+.RS 4
+Authentication token lock busy\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+PAM_AUTHTOK_ERR
+.RS 4
+Authentication token manipulation error\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+PAM_SYSTEM_ERR
+.RS 4
+System error\&.
+.RE
+.SH "NOTES"
+.PP
+This module uses the stress_new_pwd data string which tells pam_sm_chauthtok that pam_sm_acct_mgmt says we need a new password\&. The only possible value for this data string is \*(Aqyes\*(Aq\&.
