DESCRIPTION

The RootOK authentication service module for PAM, pam_rootok provides functionality for only one PAM category: authentication. In terms of the module-type parameter, this is the "auth" feature. It also provides a null function for session management.

RootOK Authentication Module

The RootOK authentication component (pam_sm_authenticate), always returns success for the superuser; i.e., if getuid(2) returns 0.

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. These messages include reasons why the user’s authentication attempt was declined.
