-
- <para>
- pam_rootok is a PAM module that authenticates the user if their
- <emphasis>UID</emphasis> is <emphasis>0</emphasis>.
- Applications that are created setuid-root generally retain the
- <emphasis>UID</emphasis> of the user but run with the authority
- of an enhanced effective-UID. It is the real <emphasis>UID</emphasis>
- that is checked.

- In the case of the <citerefentry>

- </citerefentry> application the historical usage is to
- permit the superuser to adopt the identity of a lesser user
- without the use of a password. To obtain this behavior with PAM
- the following pair of lines are needed for the corresponding entry
- in the <filename>/etc/pam.d/su</filename> configuration file:
- <programlisting>
-# su authentication. Root is granted access by default.
-auth sufficient pam_rootok.so
-auth required pam_unix.so
