NAME

6       pam_timestamp_check - check or clear authentication timestamps
7

SYNOPSIS

9       pam_timestamp_check [[-d]|[-k]] [target_user]
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       With no arguments, pam_timestamp_check will check to see if the default
14       timestamp is valid, or optionally remove it.
15
16

OPTIONS

18       -k     instead of checking the validity  of  a  timestamp,  remove  it.
19              This is analogous to sudo's -k option.
20
21       -d     Instead of returning validity using an exit status, loop indefi‐
22              nitely, polling regularly and printing the  status  on  standard
23              output.
24
25       target_user
26              The  default  behavior  of pam_timestamp_check checks or removes
27              timestamps generated by pam_timestamp when  the  user  authenti‐
28              cates  as  herself.   When the user authenticates as a different
29              user, the name of the timestamp file changes to accomodate this.

DIAGNOSTICS

33       When checking if a timestamp is valid, pam_timestamp_check  returns  an
34       exit code of 0 for success and > 0 on error:
35
36       2: binary is not setuid-root
37       3: invalid invocation
38       4: user unknown
39       5: permissions error
40       6: invalid controlling tty
41       7: other error
