The RootOK authentication service module for PAM 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.

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

The following options may be passed to the authentication module:
