+.SH "NAME"
+pam_env \- PAM module to set/unset environment variables
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.HP \w'\fBpam_env\&.so\fR\ 'u
+\fBpam_env\&.so\fR [debug] [conffile=\fIconf\-file\fR] [envfile=\fIenv\-file\fR] [readenv=\fI0|1\fR] [user_envfile=\fIenv\-file\fR] [user_readenv=\fI0|1\fR]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The pam_env PAM module allows the (un)setting of environment variables\&. Supported is the use of previously set environment variables as well as
+\fIPAM_ITEM\fRs such as
+\fIPAM_RHOST\fR\&.
+.PP
+By default rules for (un)setting of variables are taken from the config file
+/etc/security/pam_env\&.conf\&. An alternate file can be specified with the
+\fIconffile\fR
+option\&.
+.PP
+Second a file (/etc/environment
+by default) with simple
+\fIKEY=VAL\fR
+pairs on separate lines will be read\&. With the
+\fIenvfile\fR
+option an alternate file can be specified\&. And with the
+\fIreadenv\fR
+option this can be completly disabled\&.
+.PP
+Third it will read a user configuration file ($HOME/\&.pam_environment
+by default)\&. The default file file can be changed with the
+\fIuser_envfile\fR
+option and it can be turned on and off with the
+\fIuser_readenv\fR
+option\&.
+.PP
+Since setting of PAM environment variables can have side effects to other modules, this module should be the last one on the stack\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+\fBconffile=\fR\fB\fI/path/to/pam_env\&.conf\fR\fR
+.RS 4
+Indicate an alternative
+pam_env\&.conf
+style configuration file to override the default\&. This can be useful when different services need different environments\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBdebug\fR
+.RS 4
+A lot of debug information is printed with
+\fBsyslog\fR(3)\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBenvfile=\fR\fB\fI/path/to/environment\fR\fR
+.RS 4
+Indicate an alternative
+environment
+file to override the default\&. The syntax are simple
+\fIKEY=VAL\fR
+pairs on separate lines\&. The
+\fIexport\fR
+instruction can be specified for bash compatibility, but will be ignored\&. This can be useful when different services need different environments\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBreadenv=\fR\fB\fI0|1\fR\fR
+.RS 4
+Turns on or off the reading of the file specified by envfile (0 is off, 1 is on)\&. By default this option is on\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBuser_envfile=\fR\fB\fIfilename\fR\fR
+.RS 4
+Indicate an alternative
+\&.pam_environment
+file to override the default\&.The syntax is the same as for
+\fI/etc/environment\fR\&. The filename is relative to the user home directory\&. This can be useful when different services need different environments\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBuser_readenv=\fR\fB\fI0|1\fR\fR
+.RS 4
+Turns on or off the reading of the user specific environment file\&. 0 is off, 1 is on\&. By default this option is on\&.
+.RE
+.SH "MODULE TYPES PROVIDED"
+.PP
+The
+\fBauth\fR

+\fBsession\fR
+module types are provided\&.
