+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The pam_loginuid module sets the loginuid process attribute for the
+ process that was authenticated. This is necessary for applications
+ to be correctly audited. This PAM module should only be used for entry
+ point applications like: login, sshd, gdm, vsftpd, crond and atd.
+ There are probably other entry point applications besides these.
+ You should not use it for applications like sudo or su as that
+ defeats the purpose by changing the loginuid to the account they just
+ switched to.
