NAME
pam_passwd_auth - authentication module for password
SYNOPSIS
pam_passwd_auth.so.1
DESCRIPTION
pam_passwd_auth provides authentication functionality to the
password service as implemented by passwd(1). It differs
from the standard PAM authentication modules in its prompt-
ing behavior.
The name of the user whose password attributes are to be
updated must be present in the PAM_USER item. This can be
accomplished due to a previous call to pam_start(3PAM), or
explicitly set by pam_set_item(3PAM). Based on the current
user-id and the repository that is to by updated, the module
determines whether a password is necessary for a successful
update of the password repository, and if so, which password
is required.
The following option can be passed to the module:
debug syslog(3C) debugging information at
the LOG_DEBUG level
nowarn Turn off warning messages
server_policy If the account authority for the
user, as specified by PAM_USER, is a
server, do not apply the Unix policy
from the passwd entry in the name
service switch.

NOTES
The interfaces in libpam(3LIB) are MT-Safe only if each
thread within the multi-threaded application uses its own
PAM handle.
This module relies on the value of the current real UID,
this module is only safe for MT-applications that don't
change UIDs during the call to pam_authenticate(3PAM).
The pam_unix(5) module is no longer supported. Similar func-
tionality is provided by pam_authtok_check(5),
pam_authtok_get(5), pam_authtok_store(5), pam_dhkeys(5),
pam_passwd_auth(5), pam_unix_account(5), pam_unix_auth(5),
and pam_unix_session(5).
