+.SH "NAME"
+pam_tty_audit \- Enable or disable TTY auditing for specified users
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.HP \w'\fBpam_tty_audit\&.so\fR\ 'u
+\fBpam_tty_audit\&.so\fR [disable=\fIpatterns\fR] [enable=\fIpatterns\fR]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The pam_tty_audit PAM module is used to enable or disable TTY auditing\&. By default, the kernel does not audit input on any TTY\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+\fBdisable=\fR\fB\fIpatterns\fR\fR
+.RS 4
+For each user matching one of comma\-separated glob
+\fB\fIpatterns\fR\fR, disable TTY auditing\&. This overrides any previous
+\fBenable\fR
+option matching the same user name on the command line\&.
+.RE

+\fBenable=\fR\fB\fIpatterns\fR\fR
+.RS 4
+For each user matching one of comma\-separated glob
+\fB\fIpatterns\fR\fR, enable TTY auditing\&. This overrides any previous
+\fBdisable\fR
+option matching the same user name on the command line\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBopen_only\fR
+.RS 4
+Set the TTY audit flag when opening the session, but do not restore it when closing the session\&. Using this option is necessary for some services that don\'t
+\fBfork()\fR
+to run the authenticated session, such as
+\fBsudo\fR\&.
+.RE
+.SH "MODULE TYPES PROVIDED"
+.PP
+Only the
+\fBsession\fR
+type is supported\&.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.PP
+PAM_SESSION_ERR
+.RS 4
+Error reading or modifying the TTY audit flag\&. See the system log for more details\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+PAM_SUCCESS
+.RS 4
+Success\&.
+.RE
+.SH "NOTES"
+.PP
+When TTY auditing is enabled, it is inherited by all processes started by that user\&. In particular, daemons restarted by an user will still have TTY auditing enabled, and audit TTY input even by other users unless auditing for these users is explicitly disabled\&. Therefore, it is recommended to use
+\fBdisable=*\fR
+as the first option for most daemons using PAM\&.
+.PP
+To view the data that was logged by the kernel to audit use the command
+\fBaureport \-\-tty\fR\&.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.PP
+Audit all administrative actions\&.
