NAME
pam_env - PAM module to set/unset environment variables
SYNOPSIS
pam_env.so [debug] [conffile=conf-file] [envfile=env-file]
[readenv=0|1] [user_envfile=env-file] [user_readenv=0|1]
DESCRIPTION
The pam_env PAM module allows the (un)setting of environment variables.
Supported is the use of previously set environment variables as well as
PAM_ITEMs such as PAM_RHOST.
By default rules for (un)setting of variables is taken from the config
file /etc/security/pam_env.conf if no other file is specified.
This module can also parse a file with simple KEY=VAL pairs on separate
lines (/etc/environment by default). You can change the default file to
parse, with the envfile flag and turn it on or off by setting the
readenv flag to 1 or 0 respectively.
Since setting of PAM environment variables can have side effects to
other modules, this module should be the last one on the stack.
