PAM_LASTLOG(8) BSD System Manager's Manual PAM_LASTLOG(8)NAME
pam_lastlog — login accounting PAM module
SYNOPSIS
[service-name] module-type control-flag pam_lastlog [options]
DESCRIPTION
The login accounting service module for PAM, pam_lastlog provides func‐
tionality for only one PAM category: session management. In terms of the
module-type parameter, this is the “session” feature.
Login Accounting Session Management Module
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
utmp(5), wtmp(5) and lastlog(5) databases. 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.
