+.SH "NAME"
+pam_loginuid \- Record user\*(Aqs login uid to the process attribute
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.HP \w'\fBpam_loginuid\&.so\fR\ 'u
+\fBpam_loginuid\&.so\fR [require_auditd]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+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\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+\fBrequire_auditd\fR
+.RS 4
+This option, when given, will cause this module to query the audit daemon status and deny logins if it is not running\&.
+.RE
+.SH "MODULE TYPES PROVIDED"
+.PP
+Only the
+\fBsession\fR
+module type is provided\&.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.PP
+.PP
+PAM_SUCCESS
+.RS 4
+The loginuid value is set and auditd is running if check requested\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+PAM_IGNORE
+.RS 4
+The /proc/self/loginuid file is not present on the system or the login process runs inside uid namespace and kernel does not support overwriting loginuid\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+PAM_SESSION_ERR
+.RS 4
+Any other error prevented setting loginuid or auditd is not running\&.
