+\fBpam_succeed_if\&.so\fR [\fIflag\fR...] [\fIcondition\fR...]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+pam_succeed_if\&.so is designed to succeed or fail authentication based on characteristics of the account belonging to the user being authenticated or values of other PAM items\&. One use is to select whether to load other modules based on this test\&.
+.PP
+The module should be given one or more conditions as module arguments, and authentication will succeed only if all of the conditions are met\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+The following
+\fIflag\fRs are supported:
+.PP
+\fBdebug\fR
+.RS 4
+Turns on debugging messages sent to syslog\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBuse_uid\fR
+.RS 4
+Evaluate conditions using the account of the user whose UID the application is running under instead of the user being authenticated\&.

+\fICondition\fRs are three words: a field, a test, and a value to test for\&.

+.RE
+.PP
+\fBfield <= number\fR
+.RS 4
+Field has a value numerically less than or equal to number\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBfield eq number\fR
+.RS 4
+Field has a value numerically equal to number\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBfield >= number\fR
+.RS 4
+Field has a value numerically greater than or equal to number\&.

+.PP
+\fBfield > number\fR

+.PP
+\fBfield ne number\fR
+.RS 4
+Field has a value numerically different from number\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBfield = string\fR
