NAME

       pam-panel-icon - A notification area indicator of pam_timestamp status

SYNOPSIS

       pam-panel-icon

DESCRIPTION

       pam-panel-icon  should  be automatically started when starting an X11 desktop environment.
       For example, in GNOME gnome-session should be configured to start  pam-panel-icon.   In  a
       properly configured system it should never be necessary to start pam-panel-icon manually.

       pam-panel-icon  uses  pam_timestamp_check(8)  to watch the pam_timestamp timestamp status.
       If the pam_timestamp authorization is active, allowing an unprivileted user to temporarily
       authenticate  as  the  root user without providing a password, an icon in the notification
       area of the panel is displayed.  The icon allows dropping the authorization immediately.

EXIT STATUS

       Ordinarily, pam-panel-icon keeps running until the X11  desktop  session  ends,  and  then
       returns 0.  pam-panel-icon only returns with non-zero status on unexpected error.

FILES

       /sbin/pam_timestamp_check
              A hard-coded location of the pam_timestamp_check executable.
