pam_log - log messages to syslog

SYNOPSIS

pam_log [-audit] [-debug[=LEVEL]] [-noopen] [-waitdebug[=SECONDS]] [-pri=FACILITY.PRIORITY] [-tag=LABEL] TEXT...

DESCRIPTION

Sends diagnostic text to syslog.

OPTIONS

-pri=FACILITY.PRIORITY: Send text to the given syslog facility and priority. Valid values for FACILITY are: user, daemon, auth, authpriv, and local0 through local7. Valid values for PRIORITY are: emerg, alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info, and debug.
Either part can be omitted, in which case the following defaults are used: FACILITY=authpriv, PRIORITY=info.
-tag=LABEL: Use LABEL as the syslog tag, instead of the module name.
-debug[=NUMBER]: Set debugging level (0 <= NUMBER <= 100).
-audit: Log full debugging information (equivalent to debug=100).
-waitdebug=N: Wait for N seconds before starting up. This option is intended to facilitate attaching to the module with gdb(1). It is available only if the package was configured with the --enable-debug option.

MODULE TYPES PROVIDED

All module types (account, auth, password and session) are provided.

RETURN VALUES

PAM_IGNORE: Ignore this module.

EXAMPLES
