PAM_GUEST(8) System Manager's Manual PAM_GUEST(8) NAME pam_guest -- Guest PAM module SYNOPSIS [service-name] module-type control-flag pam_guest [arguments] DESCRIPTION The guest service module for PAM allows guest logins. If successful, the pam_guest module sets the PAM environment variable GUEST to the login name. The application can check this variable using pam_getenv(3) to differenti- ate guest logins from normal logins. The following options may be passed to the pam_guest module: guests=list Comma-separated list of guest account names. The default is "guest". A typical value for ftpd(8) would be "anonymous,ftp". nopass Omits the password prompt if the target account is on the list of guest accounts. pass_as_ruser The password typed in by the user is exported as the PAM_RUSER item. This is useful for applications like ftpd(8) where guest users are encouraged to use their email address as password. pass_is_user Requires the guest user to type in the guest account name as password.
