<sect2>Overview of module
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This module is very dangerous. It should be used with extreme
|
|
caution. Its action is always to permit access. It does nothing else.

<tag><bf>Description:</bf></tag>
|
|
|
|
No matter what management group, the action of this module is to
|
|
simply return <tt/PAM_SUCCESS/ -- operation successful.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In the case of authentication, the user's name will be acquired. Many
|
|
applications become confused if this name is unknown.

|
<tag><bf>Examples/suggested usage:</bf></tag>
|
|
|
|
It is seldom a good idea to use this module. However, it does have
|
|
some legitimate uses. For example, if the system-administrator wishes
|
|
to turn off the account management on a workstation, and at the same
|
|
time continue to allow logins, then she might use the following
|
|
configuration file entry for login:
|
|
<tscreen>
|
|
<verb>
|
|
#
|
|
# add this line to your other login entries to disable account
|
|
# management, but continue to permit users to log in...
|
|
#
|
|
login account required pam_permit.so
|
|
</verb>
|
|
</tscreen>
