NAME

6       pam_ssh_add - PAM module to auto load ssh keys into an agent
7

DESCRIPTION

9       pam_ssh_add provides authentication and session modules that allow
10       users to start their session with a running ssh-agent with as many ssh
11       keys loaded as possible.
12
13       If used, the authentication module simply stores the authentication
14       token for later use by the session module. Because this module performs
15       no actual authentication it returns PAM_CRED_INSUFFICIENT on success
16       and should always be accompanied by an actual authentication module in
17       your pam configuration.
18
19       By default the session module will start a new ssh-agent and run
20       ssh-add, loading any keys that exist in the default path for the newly
21       logged in user. If any keys prompt for a password, and a authenication
22       token was successfully stored, that token will be provided as the
23       password.
