information contained in the \fBPAM_USER\fR, \fBPAM_TTY\fR, and
\fBPAM_RHOSTS\fR items. \fBpam_unix_account\fR(5) uses this account to
determine the previous time the user logged in.
.sp
.LP
\fBpam_sm_close_session()\fR is a null function.

multi-threaded application uses its own PAM handle.

provided by \fBpam_authtok_check\fR(5), \fBpam_authtok_get\fR(5),
\fBpam_authtok_store\fR(5), \fBpam_dhkeys\fR(5), \fBpam_passwd_auth\fR(5),
