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/ + +.SH AUTHOR +Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com> |
