pam_dial_auth - authentication management PAM module for dialups
pam_dial_auth.so.1
The pam_dial_auth module implements pam_sm_authenticate(3PAM) which
authenticates the user according to the dialups(5) and d_passwd(5)
files configuration.
Authentication service modules must implement both
pam_sm_authenticate() and pam_sm_setcred(). pam_sm_setcred() in this
module always returns PAM_IGNORE.
The value of the PAM_TTY item is checked against entries in
dialups(5). If there is a match, the user's shell is compared against
entries in d_passwd(5). If there is a matching entry, the user is
prompted for a password which is validated against the entry found.
The following option may be passed in to this service module:
debug
syslog(3C) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level.
If dialups(5) is not present, PAM_IGNORE is returned. Upon successful
completion of pam_sm_authenticate(), PAM_SUCCESS is returned. The
following error codes are returned upon error:
PAM_AUTH_ERR
Authentication failure.
PAM_SERVICE_ERR
Error in the calling service, PAM_TTY is not set.
PAM_SYSTEM_ERR
System error (d_passwd(5) is not present).
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
No account is present for user.

pam_dial_auth - authentication management PAM module for dialups
SYNOPSIS
pam_dial_auth.so.1
DESCRIPTION
The pam_dial_auth module implements pam_sm_authenticate(3PAM) which
authenticates the user according to the dialups(5) and d_passwd(5)
files configuration.
Authentication service modules must implement both
pam_sm_authenticate() and pam_sm_setcred(). pam_sm_setcred() in this
module always returns PAM_IGNORE.
The value of the PAM_TTY item is checked against entries in
dialups(5). If there is a match, the user's shell is compared against
entries in d_passwd(5). If there is a matching entry, the user is
prompted for a password which is validated against the entry found.
The following option may be passed in to this service module:
debug
syslog(3C) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level.
ERRORS
If dialups(5) is not present, PAM_IGNORE is returned. Upon successful
completion of pam_sm_authenticate(), PAM_SUCCESS is returned. The
following error codes are returned upon error:
PAM_AUTH_ERR
Authentication failure.
PAM_SERVICE_ERR
Error in the calling service, PAM_TTY is not set.
PAM_SYSTEM_ERR
System error (d_passwd(5) is not present).
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
No account is present for user.

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