+.TH pam_rps 8 2010/4/20 "Red Hat Linux" "System Administrator's Manual"
+
+.SH NAME
+pam_rps \- challenge-response authentication
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B auth sufficient pam_rps.so
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+pam_rps.so is designed to provide an easy-to-test challenge-response
+authentication mechanism for PAM-enabled applications.
+
+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.
+
+.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.
+
+.SH NOTES
+Never use this module.
+
+.SH BUGS
+Let's hope not, but if you find any, please report them via the "Bug Track"
+link at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/
