      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.

          </span></dt><dd><p>
              During authentication the calling command can read
              the password from <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">stdin</span>(3)</span>. Only first <span class="emphasis"><em>PAM_MAX_RESP_SIZE</em></span>
              bytes of a password are provided to the command.

            <code class="option">log=<em class="replaceable"><code>file</code></em></code>

              Only run the command if the module type matches the given type.

            <code class="option">stdout</code>
          </span></dt><dd><p>
              Per default the output of the executed command is written to <code class="filename">/dev/null</code>. With this option, the stdout output of the executed command is redirected to the calling application. It's in the responsibility of this application what happens with the output. The <code class="option">log</code> option is ignored.

            <code class="option">quiet</code>

              Per default pam_exec.so will echo the exit status of the
              external command if it fails.
              Specifying this option will suppress the message.

            <code class="option">seteuid</code>

              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.
