+pam_loginuid — Record user's login uid to the process attribute
+
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+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, at, and remote. 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.
+
+EXAMPLES
+

+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
