NAME¶

pam_sm_acct_mgmt - PAM service function for account management

SYNOPSIS¶

#define PAM_SM_ACCOUNT

#include <security/pam_modules.h>

PAM_EXTERN int pam_sm_acct_mgmt(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags, int argc, const char **argv);

DESCRIPTION¶

The pam_sm_acct_mgmt function is the service module's implementation of the pam_acct_mgmt(3) interface.

This function performs the task of establishing whether the user is permitted to gain access at this time. It should be understood that the user has previously been validated by an authentication module. This function checks for other things. Such things might be: the time of day or the date, the terminal line, remote hostname, etc. This function may also determine things like the expiration on passwords, and respond that the user change it before continuing.

Valid flags, which may be logically OR'd with PAM_SILENT, are:

PAM_SILENT

PAM_DISALLOW_NULL_AUTHTOK

RETURN VALUES¶

PAM_ACCT_EXPIRED

PAM_AUTH_ERR

PAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD

PAM_PERM_DENIED

PAM_SUCCESS

PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
