pam_lastlog – login accounting PAM module

SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION Login Accounting Session Management Module SEE ALSO AUTHORS

[service-name] module-type control-flag pam_lastlog [options]

The login accounting service module for PAM, pam_lastlog provides functionality for only one PAM category: session management. In terms of the module-type parameter, this is the "session" feature.

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.
no_warn
	suppress warning messages to the user.
no_fail
	Ignore I/O failures.

The pam_lastlog module and this manual page were developed for the FreeBSD Project by ThinkSec AS and NAI Labs, the Security Research Division of Network Associates, Inc.amp; under DARPA/SPAWAR contract N66001-01-C-8035 ("CBOSS"), as part of the DARPA CHATS research program.
