35.Os
36.Sh NAME
37.Nm pam_guest
38.Nd Guest PAM module
39.Sh SYNOPSIS
40.Op Ar service-name
41.Ar module-type
42.Ar control-flag
43.Pa pam_guest
44.Op Ar arguments
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46The guest service module for PAM allows guest logins.
47If successful, the
48.Nm
49module sets the PAM environment variable
50.Ev GUEST
51to the login name.
52The application can check this variable using
53.Xr pam_getenv 3
54to differentiate guest logins from normal logins.
55.Pp
56The following options may be passed to the
57.Nm
58module:
59.Bl -tag -width ".Cm pass_as_ruser"
60.It Cm guests Ns = Ns Ar list
61Comma-separated list of guest account names.
62The default is
63.Dq Li guest .
64A typical value for
65.Xr ftpd 8
66would be
67.Dq Li anonymous,ftp .
68.It Cm nopass
69Omits the password prompt if the target account is on the list of
70guest accounts.
71.It Cm pass_as_ruser
72The password typed in by the user is exported as the
73.Dv PAM_RUSER
74item.
75This is useful for applications like
76.Xr ftpd 8
77where guest users are encouraged to use their email address as
78password.
79.It Cm pass_is_user
80Requires the guest user to type in the guest account name as password.
