Without pam_rps, successful authentication can only occur for a user if the -user has previously established an authentication token for use with the -server. Using pam_rps removes this limitation. +user has previously established some sort of means of authenticating to the +local system or a trusted server. Using pam_rps removes this limitation. .SH ARGUMENTS .IP debug -Enable module debugging. The module will log its progress to syslog. -.IP throw=\fInumber\fP -The challenge issued to the user is derived from a random number. This -argument allows the administrator to control which challenge will be presented -to the user. This argument is meant for use only when debugging. +Enable module debugging. The module will log its progress to syslog with +"debug" priority. + +.IP best_of=\fInumber\fP +The user will be issued multiple challenges, and must "win" against more than +one half of them. If the supplied number is not odd, it will be incremented. + +.IP echo +Signal to the calling application that the user should be able to see +the response as it is being typed in. + +.IP sun +Follow the conversation conventions consistent with Solaris PAM and not +Linux-PAM. The default is to attempt to accomodate both. + +.IP linux +Follow the conversation conventions consistent with Linux-PAM and not +Solaris PAM. The default is to attempt to accomodate both. .SH NOTES -Never use this module. +Do not use this module in production. .SH BUGS Let's hope not, but if you find any, please report them via the "Bug Track" |
