NAME
     pam_dial_auth - authentication  management  PAM  module  for
     dialups

SYNOPSIS
     pam_dial_auth.so.1


DESCRIPTION
     The         pam_dial_auth         module          implements
     pam_sm_authenticate(3PAM)   which   authenticates  the  user
     according to the dialups(4) and d_passwd(4) files configura-
     tion.


     Authentication   service   modules   must   implement   both
     pam_sm_authenticate() and pam_sm_setcred(). pam_sm_setcred()
     in this module always returns PAM_IGNORE.


     The value of the PAM_TTY item is checked against entries  in
     dialups(4).  If  there  is a match, the user's shell is com-
     pared against entries in d_passwd(4). If there is a matching
     entry,  the  user  is prompted for a password which is vali-
     dated against the entry found.


     The following option  may  be  passed  in  to  this  service
     module:

     debug    syslog(3C)  debugging  information   at   LOG_DEBUG
              level.


ERRORS
     If dialups(4) is not present, PAM_IGNORE is  returned.  Upon
     successful  completion of pam_sm_authenticate(), PAM_SUCCESS
     is returned. The following error  codes  are  returned  upon
     error:

     PAM_AUTH_ERR        Authentication failure.


     PAM_SERVICE_ERR     Error in the calling service, PAM_TTY is
                         not set.


     PAM_SYSTEM_ERR      System   error   (d_passwd(4)   is   not
                         present).

NOTES
     The interfaces in libpam(3LIB)  are  MT-Safe  only  if  each
     thread  within  the  multi-threaded application uses its own
     PAM handle.


     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).
