pam_loginuid(8)		 System Administrator's Manual	       pam_loginuid(8)

NAME
       pam_loginuid - record user's login uid to the process attribute

SYNOPSIS
       session required /lib/security/pam_loginuid.so

DESCRIPTION
       pam_loginuid  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 applica‐
       tions like: login, sshd, gdm, vsftpd, crond, at, and remote. 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.

ARGUMENTS
       require_auditd
	      This  option,  when  given,  will cause this module to query the
	      audit daemon status and deny logins if it is not running.

EXAMPLE
       /etc/pam.d/gdm:
       auth	  required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth
       auth	  required     pam_nologin.so
       account	  required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth
       password	  required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth
       session	  required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth
       session	  required     pam_loginuid.so
       session	  optional     pam_console.so
