NAME

pam_echo – Echo PAM module

CONTENTS

SYNOPSIS

[service-name] module-type control-flag pam_echo [arguments]

DESCRIPTION

The echo service module for PAM displays its arguments to the user, separated by spaces, using the current conversation function.

If the % character occurs anywhere in the arguments to pam_echo, it is assumed to introduce one of the following escape sequences:
  The name of the host on which the client runs ( PAM_RHOST).
%s The current service name ( PAM_SERVICE).
%t The name of the controlling tty ( PAM_TTY).
amp;%U The applicant's user name ( PAM_RUSER).
%u The target account's user name ( PAM_USER).

Any other two-character sequence beginning with % expands to the character following the % character.

The most horrifying thing about Unix is that, no matter how many times you hit yourself over the head with it, you never quite manage to lose consciousness. It just goes on and on.
