NAME
       pam-panel-icon - A notification area indicator of pam_timestamp status

SYNOPSIS
       pam-panel-icon

DESCRIPTION
       pam-panel-icon  should  be  automatically  started when starting an X11
       desktop environment.  For example, in  GNOME  gnome-session  should  be
       configured to start pam-panel-icon.  In a properly configured system it
       should never be necessary to start pam-panel-icon manually.

       pam-panel-icon uses pam_timestamp_check(8) to watch  the	 pam_timestamp
       timestamp status.  If the pam_timestamp authorization is active, allow‐
       ing an unprivileted user to temporarily authenticate as the  root  user
       without	providing  a password, an icon in the notification area of the
       panel is displayed.  The icon allows dropping the authorization immedi‐
       ately.

EXIT STATUS
       Ordinarily,  pam-panel-icon keeps running until the X11 desktop session
       ends, and then returns 0.  pam-panel-icon only  returns	with  non-zero
       status on unexpected error.

FILES
       /sbin/pam_timestamp_check
	      A hard-coded location of the pam_timestamp_check executable.

SEE ALSO
       pam_timestamp(8), pam_timestamp_check(8)
