The login accounting service module for PAM,
provides functionality for only one PAM category:
session management.
In terms of the
module-type
parameter, this is the

feature.
Login Accounting Session Management Module
The login accounting session management component provides functions
to initiate
(Fn pam_sm_open_session
)
and terminate
(Fn 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.
The
module and this manual page were developed for the FreeBSD Project by
ThinkSec AS and NAI Labs, the Security Research Division of Network
Associates, Inc. under DARPA/SPAWAR contract N66001-01-C-8035
(``CBOSS''
)
as part of the DARPA CHATS research program.
