+<sect2>Overview of module
+
+<p>
+This module is very dangerous. It should be used with extreme
+caution. Its action is always to permit access. It does nothing else.

+<tag><bf>Recognized arguments:</bf></tag>
+
+<tag><bf>Description:</bf></tag>
+
+No matter what management group, the action of this module is to
+simply return <tt/PAM_SUCCESS/ -- operation successful.
+
+<p>
+In the case of authentication, the user's name will be acquired. Many
+applications become confused if this name is unknown.
+
+<tag><bf>Examples/suggested usage:</bf></tag>
+
+It is seldom a good idea to use this module. However, it does have
+some legitimate uses.  For example, if the system-administrator wishes
+to turn off the account management on a workstation, and at the same
+time continue to allow logins, then she might use the following
+configuration file entry for login:
+<tscreen>
+<verb>
+#
+# add this line to your other login entries to disable account
+# management, but continue to permit users to log in...
+#
+login	account	 required	pam_permit.so
+</verb>
+</tscreen>
+
+</descrip>
