Section: Linux\-PAM Manual (8) Updated: 04/01/2016 Index
Return to Main Contents
NAME
pam_timestamp_check - Check to see if the default timestamp is valid
SYNOPSIS
-
pam_timestamp_check [-k] [-d] [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 indefinitely, polling regularly and printing the status on standard output.
target_user
-
By default
pam_timestamp_check
checks or removes timestamps generated by
pam_timestamp
when the user authenticates as herself. When the user authenticates as a different user, the name of the timestamp file changes to accommodate this.
target_user
allows to specify this user name.
RETURN VALUES
0
-
The timestamp is valid.
2
-
The binary is not setuid root.
3
-
Invalid invocation.
4
-
User is unknown.
5
-
Permissions error.
6
-
Invalid controlling tty.
7
-
Timestamp is not valid.
NOTES
Users can get confused when they are not always asked for passwords when running a given program. Some users reflexively begin typing information before noticing that it is not being asked for.
EXAMPLES
-
auth sufficient pam_timestamp.so verbose
auth required pam_unix.so
session required pam_unix.so
session optional pam_timestamp.so
FILES
/var/run/sudo/...
-
timestamp files and directories
