NAME
     pamunixsession - session management PAM module for UNIX

SYNOPSIS
     pamunixsession.so.1


DESCRIPTION
     The        pamunixsession        module         implements
     pamsmopensession(3PAM) and pamsmclosesession(3PAM).


     pamsmopensession() updates the /var/adm/lastlog file with
     the  information  contained  in  the  PAMUSER, PAMTY, and
     PAMRHOSTS items. pamunixaccount(5) uses this  account  to
     determine the previous time the user logged in.


     pamsmclosesession() is a null function.


     The following options can be passed to the module:

     debug    syslog(3C) debugging information at  the  LOGDEBUG
              level


ERORS
     Upon successful completion,  PAMSUCES  is  returned.  The
     following error codes are returned upon error:

     PAMSESIONER     Cannot make or remove the entry for  the
                         specified   session   (PAMTY   is  not
                         present).


     PAMUSERUNKNOWN    No account is present for user.

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


     The pamunix(5) module is no longer supported. Similar func-
     tionality     is     provided    by    pamauthtokcheck(5),
     pamauthtokget(5),   pamauthtokstore(5),   pamdhkeys(5),
     pampasswdauth(5),  pamunixaccount(5),  pamunixauth(5),
     and pamunixsession(5).
