- pam_rootok — Gain only root access
- ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- DESCRIPTION
- pam_rootok is a PAM module that authenticates the user if their UID is 0.
- Applications that are created setuid-root generally retain the UID of the user
- but run with the authority of an enhanced effective-UID. It is the real UID
- that is checked.
- OPTIONS
- debug
- Print debug information.
- EXAMPLES
- In the case of the su(1) 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 /etc/pam.d/su configuration file:
- # su authentication. Root is granted access by default.
- auth sufficient pam_rootok.so
- auth required pam_unix.so
- AUTHOR
- pam_rootok was written by Andrew G. Morgan, <morgan@kernel.org>.
