NAME
     pam_unix_session - session management PAM module for UNIX

SYNOPSIS
     pam_unix_session.so.1


DESCRIPTION
     The        pam_unix_session        module         implements
     pam_sm_open_session(3PAM) and pam_sm_close_session(3PAM).


     pam_sm_open_session() updates the /var/adm/lastlog file with
     the  information  contained  in  the  PAM_USER, PAM_TTY, and
     PAM_RHOST items. pam_unix_account(5) uses  this  account  to
     determine the previous time the user logged in.


     pam_sm_close_session() is a null function.


     The following options can be passed to the module:

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


ERRORS
     Upon successful completion,  PAM_SUCCESS  is  returned.  The
     following error codes are returned upon error:

     PAM_SESSION_ERR     Cannot make or remove the entry for  the
                         specified   session   (PAM_TTY   is  not
                         present).


     PAM_USER_UNKNOWN    No account is present for user.

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).
