       pam_permit - The promiscuous module

SYNOPSIS

       pam_permit.so

DESCRIPTION

       pam_permit is a PAM module that always permit access. It does nothing else.

       In the case of authentication, the user's name will be set to nobody if the application
       didn't set one. Many applications and PAM modules become confused if this name is unknown.

       This module is very dangerous. It should be used with extreme caution.

MODULE TYPES PROVIDED

RETURN VALUES

EXAMPLES

       permit users to log in.
