NAME

     pam_rootok -- RootOK PAM module


SYNOPSIS

     [service-name] module-type control-flag pam_rootok [options]


DESCRIPTION

     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 func-
     tion for session management.

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

     The following options may be passed to the authentication module:

     debug    syslog(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level.

     no_warn  suppress warning messages to the user.  These messages include
              reasons why the user's authentication attempt was declined.
