pam_loginuid
Record user (Aqs login uid to the process attribute
SYNOPSIS
' pam_loginuid.so 'u pam_loginuid.so [require_auditd]
DESCRIPTION
The pam_loginuid module sets the loginuid process attribute for the process that was authenticated . This is necessary for applications to be correctly audited . This PAM module should only be used for entry point applications like: login, sshd, gdm, vsftpd, crond and atd . There are probably other entry point applications besides these . You should not use it for applications like sudo or su as that defeats the purpose by changing the loginuid to the account they just switched to .
OPTIONS
require_auditd This option, when given, will cause this module to query the audit daemon status and deny logins if it is not running .
MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
Only the session module type is provided .
RETURN VALUES
PAM_SUCCESS The loginuid value is set and auditd is running if check requested .
PAM_IGNORE The /proc/self/loginuid file is not present on the system or the login process runs inside uid namespace and kernel does not support overwriting loginuid .
PAM_SESSION_ERR Any other error prevented setting loginuid or auditd is not running .
EXAMPLES
#%PAM -1 .0 auth required pam_unix .so auth required pam_nologin .so account required pam_unix .so password required pam_unix .so session required pam_unix .so session required pam_loginuid .so
