pam_dial_auth(5)

NAME
     pam_dial_auth - authentication management PAM module for dialups

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/security/pam_dial_auth.so

DESCRIPTION
     The  dialup PAM module, /usr/lib/security/pam_dial_auth.so, authenticates a
     user  according  to  the  /etc/dialups  and  /etc/d_passwd   files.    Only
     pam_sm_authenticate()  is implemented within this module.  pam_sm_setcred()
     is a null function.  /usr/lib/security/pam_dial_auth.so is designed  to  be
     stacked  immediately below the /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so module for the
     login service.

     pam_sm_authenticate() performs authentication only if both the /etc/dialups
     and /etc/d_passwd files exist. The user's terminal line is checked  against
     entries  in the /etc/dialups file. If there is a match, the user's shell is
     compared against entries in the /etc/d_passwd file.  If there is a matching
     entry, the user is prompted for a password which is validated  against  the
     entry  in  the  /etc/d_passwd file. If the passwords match, the user is au-
     thenticated.  The following option may be passed in to this service module:

            debug          syslog(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level
