pam_dial_auth(5)					      pam_dial_auth(5)

NAME
       pam_dial_auth - authentication management PAM module for dialups

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/security/pam_dial_auth.so

DESCRIPTION
       The  dialup  PAM	 module, /usr/lib/security/pam_dial_auth.so, authenti‐
       cates a user according to the  /etc/dialups  and	 /etc/d_passwd	files.
       Only   pam_sm_authenticate()   is   implemented	 within	 this  module.
       pam_sm_setcred()	   is	  a	null	 function.	/usr/lib/secu‐
       rity/pam_dial_auth.so  is  designed to be stacked immediately below the
       /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so module for the login service.

       pam_sm_authenticate()  performs	authentication	only   if   both   the
       /etc/dialups and /etc/d_passwd files exist. The user's terminal line is
       checked against entries in the /etc/dialups file. If there is a	match,
       the user's shell is compared against entries in the /etc/d_passwd file.
       If there is a matching entry, the user is prompted for a password which
       is  validated against the entry in the /etc/d_passwd file. If the pass‐
       words match, the user is authenticated.	The following  option  may  be
       passed in to this service module:

	      debug	     syslog(3)	 debugging  information	 at  LOG_DEBUG
			     level
