pam_tty_audit8Linux-PAM Manualpam_tty_auditEnable or disable TTY auditing for specified userspam_tty_audit.so
disable=patterns
enable=patternsDESCRIPTION
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.
OPTIONS
For each user matching one of comma-separated glob
, disable
TTY auditing. This overrides any previous
option matchin the same user name on the command line.
For each user matching one of comma-separated glob
, enable
TTY auditing. This overrides any previous
option matching the same user name on the command line.
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 fork() to run the
authenticated session, such as sudo.
MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
Only the session type is supported.
RETURN VALUESPAM_SESSION_ERR
Error reading or modifying the TTY audit flag. See the system log
for more details.
PAM_SUCCESS
Success.
NOTES
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 as the first option for
most daemons using PAM.
EXAMPLES
Audit all administrative actions.
