+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+ <para>
+ The <function>pam_sm_chauthtok</function> function is the service
+ module's implementation of the
+ <citerefentry>
+ <refentrytitle>pam_chauthtok</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum>
+ </citerefentry> interface.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ This function is used to (re-)set the authentication token of the user.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Valid flags, which may be logically OR'd with
+ <emphasis>PAM_SILENT</emphasis>, are:
+ </para>
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>PAM_SILENT</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>

+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>PAM_CHANGE_EXPIRED_AUTHTOK</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ This argument indicates to the module that the user's
+ authentication token (password) should only be changed if
+ it has expired. This flag is optional and
+ <emphasis>must</emphasis> be combined with one of the
+ following two flags. Note, however, the following two options
+ are <emphasis>mutually exclusive</emphasis>.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>PAM_PRELIM_CHECK</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ This indicates that the modules are being probed as to
+ their ready status for altering the user's authentication
+ token. If the module requires access to another system over
+ some network it should attempt to verify it can connect to
+ this system on receiving this flag. If a module cannot establish
+ it is ready to update the user's authentication token it should
+ return <emphasis remap='B'>PAM_TRY_AGAIN</emphasis>, this
+ information will be passed back to the application.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ If the control value <emphasis>sufficient</emphasis> is used in
+ the password stack, the <emphasis>PAM_PRELIM_CHECK</emphasis> section
+ of the modules following that control value is not always executed.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>PAM_UPDATE_AUTHTOK</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ This informs the module that this is the call it should change
+ the authorization tokens. If the flag is logically OR'd with
+ <emphasis remap='B'>PAM_CHANGE_EXPIRED_AUTHTOK</emphasis>, the
+ token is only changed if it has actually expired.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ </variablelist>
+ <para>
+ The PAM library calls this function twice in succession. The first
+ time with <emphasis remap='B'>PAM_PRELIM_CHECK</emphasis> and then,
+ if the module does not return
+ <emphasis remap='B'>PAM_TRY_AGAIN</emphasis>, subsequently with
+ <emphasis remap='B'>PAM_UPDATE_AUTHTOK</emphasis>. It is only on
+ the second call that the authorization token is (possibly) changed.
