+
+    <para>
+      In a nutshell, <emphasis>pam_timestamp</emphasis> caches successful
+authentication attempts, and allows you to use a recent successful attempt as
+the basis for authentication. This is similar mechanism which is used in
+<command>sudo</command>.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      When an application opens a session using <emphasis>pam_timestamp</emphasis>,
+a timestamp file is created in the <emphasis>timestampdir</emphasis> directory
+for the user.  When an application attempts to authenticate the user, a
+<emphasis>pam_timestamp</emphasis> will treat a sufficiently recent timestamp
+file as grounds for succeeding.
