If the name is +``<tt/ftp/'' or ``<tt/anonymous/'', the user's password is broken up +at the `<tt/@/' delimiter into a <tt/PAM_RUSER/ and a <tt/PAM_RHOST/ +part; these pam-items being set accordingly. The username +(<tt/PAM_USER/) is set to ``<tt/ftp/''. In this case the module +succeeds. Alternatively, the module sets the <tt/PAM_AUTHTOK/ item +with the entered password and fails. + +<p> +The behavior of the module can be modified with the following flags: +<itemize> +<item><tt/debug/ - +log more information to with <tt/syslog(3)/. + +<item><tt/users=XXX,YYY,.../ - +instead of ``<tt/ftp/'' or ``<tt/anonymous/'', provide anonymous login +to the comma separated list of users; ``<tt/XXX,YYY,.../''. Should the +applicant enter one of these usernames the returned username is set to +the first in the list; ``<tt/XXX/''. + +<item><tt/ignore/ - +pay no attention to the email address of the user (if supplied). + +</itemize> + +<tag><bf>Examples/suggested usage:</bf></tag> + +An example of the use of this module is provided in the configuration +file section <ref id="configuration" name="above">. With care, this +module could be used to provide new/temporary account anonymous +login. + +</descrip> + +<!-- +End of sgml insert for this module. +--> |
