pam_exec is a PAM module that can be used to run
an external command.
</p><p>
The child's environment is set to the current PAM environment list, as
returned by
<span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">pam_getenvlist</span>(3)</span>
In addition, the following PAM items are
exported as environment variables: <span class="emphasis"><em>PAM_RHOST</em></span>,
<span class="emphasis"><em>PAM_RUSER</em></span>, <span class="emphasis"><em>PAM_SERVICE</em></span>,
<span class="emphasis"><em>PAM_TTY</em></span>, <span class="emphasis"><em>PAM_USER</em></span> and
<span class="emphasis"><em>PAM_TYPE</em></span>, which contains one of the module
types: <code class="option">account</code>, <code class="option">auth</code>,
<code class="option">password</code>, <code class="option">open_session</code> and
<code class="option">close_session</code>.
</p><p>
Commands called by pam_exec need to be aware of that the user
can have controll over the environment.

</p></dd><dt><span class="term">
<code class="option">expose_authtok</code>
</span></dt><dd><p>
During authentication the calling command can read
the password from <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">stdin</span>(3)</span>.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term">
<code class="option">log=<em class="replaceable"><code>file</code></em></code>

The output of the command is appended to
<code class="filename">file</code>
</p></dd><dt><span class="term">
<code class="option">quiet</code>
</span></dt><dd><p>
Per default pam_exec.so will echo the exit status of the
external command if it fails.
Specifying this option will suppress the message.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term">
<code class="option">seteuid</code>
</span></dt><dd><p>
Per default pam_exec.so will execute the external command
with the real user ID of the calling process.
Specifying this option means the command is run
with the effective user ID.
