NAME

       pam_loginuid - Record user's login uid to the process attribute

SYNOPSIS

       pam_loginuid.so [require_auditd]

DESCRIPTION

       The pam_loginuid module sets the loginuid process attribute for the process that was
       authenticated. This is necessary for applications to be correctly audited. This PAM module
       should only be used for entry point applications like: login, sshd, gdm, vsftpd, crond and
       atd. There are probably other entry point applications besides these. You should not use
       it for applications like sudo or su as that defeats the purpose by changing the loginuid
       to the account they just switched to.

OPTIONS

       require_auditd
           This option, when given, will cause this module to query the audit daemon status and
           deny logins if it is not running.

MODULE TYPES PROVIDED

       Only the session module type is provided.

RETURN VALUES

       PAM_SUCCESS
           The loginuid value is set and auditd is running if check requested.

       PAM_IGNORE
           The /proc/self/loginuid file is not present on the system or the login process runs
           inside uid namespace and kernel does not support overwriting loginuid.

       PAM_SESSION_ERR
           Any other error prevented setting loginuid or auditd is not running.

EXAMPLES

           #%PAM-1.0
           auth       required     pam_unix.so
           auth       required     pam_nologin.so
           account    required     pam_unix.so
           password   required     pam_unix.so
           session    required     pam_unix.so
           session    required     pam_loginuid.so
