pam_timestamp_check(8) System Administrator's Manual pam_timestamp_check(8)NAMEpam_timestamp_check - check or clear authentication timestamps
SYNOPSISpam_timestamp_check [[-d]|[-k]] [target_user]
DESCRIPTION
With no arguments, pam_timestamp_check will check to see if the default
timestamp is valid, or optionally remove it.
OPTIONS-k instead of checking the validity of a timestamp, remove it.
This is analogous to sudo's -k option.
-d Instead of returning validity using an exit status, loop indefi‐
nitely, polling regularly and printing the status on standard
output.
target_user
The default behavior of pam_timestamp_check checks or removes
timestamps generated by pam_timestamp when the user authenti‐
cates as herself. When the user authenticates as a different
user, the name of the timestamp file changes to accomodate this.
DIAGNOSTICS
When checking if a timestamp is valid, pam_timestamp_check returns an
exit code of 0 for success and > 0 on error:
2: binary is not setuid-root
3: invalid invocation
4: user unknown
5: permissions error
6: invalid controlling tty
7: other error
