-.SH "SYNOPSIS"
-.HP \w'\fBpam_rootok\&.so\fR\ 'u
-\fBpam_rootok\&.so\fR [debug]
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.PP
-pam_rootok is a PAM module that authenticates the user if their
-\fIUID\fR
-is
-\fI0\fR\&. Applications that are created setuid\-root generally retain the
-\fIUID\fR
-of the user but run with the authority of an enhanced effective\-UID\&. It is the real
-\fIUID\fR
-that is checked\&.

-.SH "EXAMPLES"
-.PP
-In the case of the
-\fBsu\fR(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:
-.sp
-.if n \{\
-.RS 4
-.\}
-.nf
-# su authentication\&. Root is granted access by default\&.
-auth sufficient pam_rootok\&.so
-auth required pam_unix\&.so
