pam_timestamp_check − check or clear authentication timestamps
pam_timestamp_check [[-d]|[-k]] [target_user]
With no arguments, pam_timestamp_check will check to see if the default timestamp is valid, or optionally remove it.
-k |
instead of checking the validity of a timestamp, remove it. This is analogous to sudo’s -k option. | ||
-d |
Instead of returning validity using an exit status, loop indefinitely, polling regularly and printing the status on standard output. |
target_user
The default behavior of pam_timestamp_check checks or removes timestamps generated by pam_timestamp when the user authenticates as herself. When the user authenticates as a different user, the name of the timestamp file changes to accomodate this.
When checking if a timestamp is valid, pam_timestamp_check returns an exit code of 0 for success and > 0 on error:
2: binary is
not setuid-root
3: invalid invocation
4: user unknown
5: permissions error
6: invalid controlling tty
7: other error
