The guest service module for PAM allows guest logins. If
successful, the pam_guest
module sets the PAM
environment variable GUEST
to the login name. The
application can check this variable using
pam_getenv(3) to
differentiate guest logins from normal logins.
The following options may be passed to the
pam_guest
module:
guests
=listguest
”. A typical value for
ftpd(8) would be
“anonymous,ftp
”.nopass
pass_as_ruser
PAM_RUSER
item. This is useful for applications
like ftpd(8) where guest users
are encouraged to use their email address as password.pass_is_user
The pam_guest
module and this manual page
were developed for the FreeBSD Project by ThinkSec
AS and NAI Labs, the Security Research Division of Network Associates, Inc.
under DARPA/SPAWAR contract N66001-01-C-8035 (“CBOSS”), as
part of the DARPA CHATS research program.
