pam_unix_session(5)   Standards, Environments, and Macros  pam_unix_session(5)

NAME
       pam_unix_session - session management PAM module for UNIX

SYNOPSIS
       pam_unix_session.so.1

DESCRIPTION
       The  pam_unix_session  module  implements pam_sm_open_session(3PAM) and
       pam_sm_close_session(3PAM).

       pam_sm_open_session() updates the /var/adm/lastlog file with the infor‐
       mation  contained  in  the  PAM_USER,  PAM_TTY,	and  PAM_RHOSTS items.
       pam_unix_account(5) uses this account to determine  the	previous  time
       the user logged in.

       pam_sm_close_session() is a null function.

       The following options can be passed to the module:

       debug	       syslog(3C) debugging information at the LOG_DEBUG level

ERRORS
       Upon  successful	 completion,  PAM_SUCCESS  is returned.	 The following
       error codes are returned upon error:

       PAM_SESSION_ERR	       Cannot make or remove the entry for the	speci‐
			       fied session (PAM_TTY is not present).

       PAM_USER_UNKNOWN	       No account is present for user.

NOTES
       The interfaces in libpam(3LIB) are MT-Safe only if each	thread	within
       the multi-threaded application uses its own PAM handle.

       The pam_unix(5) module is no longer supported. Similar functionality is
       provided	  by   pam_authtok_check(5),   pam_authtok_get(5),   pam_auth‐
       tok_store(5),  pam_dhkeys(5),  pam_passwd_auth(5), pam_unix_account(5),
       pam_unix_auth(5), and pam_unix_session(5).
