<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<I>unix_update</I>
|
|
<DD>is a helper program for the
|
|
<I>pam_unix</I>
|
|
module that updates the password of a given user. It is not intended to be run directly from the command line and logs a security violation if done so.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The purpose of the helper is to enable tighter confinement of login and password changing services. The helper is thus called only when SELinux is enabled on the system.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The interface of the helper - command line options, and input/output data format are internal to the
|
|
<I>pam_unix</I>
|
|
module and it should not be called directly from applications.
