The login accounting session management component provides functions to initiate (pam_sm_open_session()) and terminate (pam_sm_close_session()) sessions. The pam_sm_open_session() function records the session in the user accounting database. The pam_sm_close_session() function does nothing.

The following options may be passed to the authentication module:
debug syslog(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level.

“ Never write it in C if you can do it in `awk';
Never do it in `awk' if `sed' can handle it;
Never use `sed' when `tr' can do the job;
Never invoke `tr' when `cat' is sufficient;
Avoid using `cat' whenever possible. 		”
