+pam_stress — The stress-testing PAM module
+
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+The pam_stress PAM module is mainly intended to give the impression of failing
+as a fully functioning module might.
+
+OPTIONS
+
+debug
+
+ Put lots of information in syslog. *NOTE* this option writes passwords to
+ syslog, so don't use anything sensitive when testing.
+
+no_warn
+
+ Do not give warnings about things (otherwise warnings are issued via the
+ conversation function)
+
+use_first_pass
+
+ Do not prompt for a password, for pam_sm_authentication function just use
+ item PAM_AUTHTOK.
+
+try_first_pass
+
+ Do not prompt for a password unless there has been no previous
+ authentication token (item PAM_AUTHTOK is NULL)
+
+rootok
+
+ This is intended for the pam_sm_chauthtok function and it instructs this
+ function to permit root to change the user's password without entering the
+ old password.
+
+expired
+
+ An argument intended for the account and chauthtok module parts. It
+ instructs the module to act as if the user's password has expired
+
+fail_1
+
+ This instructs the module to make its first function fail.
+
+fail_2
+
+ This instructs the module to make its second function (if there is one)
+ fail.
+
+prelim
+
+ For pam_sm_chauthtok, means fail on PAM_PRELIM_CHECK.
+
+required
+
+ For pam_sm_chauthtok, means fail if the user hasn't already been
+ authenticated by this module. (See stress_new_pwd data string in the
+ NOTES.)
