NAME
pam_lastlog —
login accounting PAM module
SYNOPSIS
[service-name] module-type control-flag pam_lastlog [options]
DESCRIPTION
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 “session” feature.
Login Accounting Session Management Module
The login accounting session management component provides
functions to initiate
(pam_sm_open_session())
and terminate
(pam_sm_close_session())
sessions. The pam_sm_open_session() function records
the session in the utmp(5),
utmpx(5), wtmp(5),
wtmpx(5),
lastlog(5), and
lastlogx(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_DEBUGlevel. no_nested- Don't update records or print messages if the user is “nested”, i.e. logged in on the same tty on top of another user.
no_warn- suppress warning messages to the user.
no_fail- Ignore I/O failures.
