PAM_FTP(8)

NAME
pam_ftp - FTP PAM module

SYNOPSIS
[service-name] module-type control-flag pam_ftp [options]

DESCRIPTION
The FTP authentication service module for PAM, pam_ftp provides functionality for only one PAM category: authentication. In terms of the module-type parameter, this is the “auth” feature. It also provides a null function for session management.

  FTP Authentication Module
The FTP authentication component (pam_sm_authenticate()), authenticates the anonymous user (usually “anonymous” or “ftp”) usually by simply requesting an email address as a password. The supplied email address is broken up into its username and host parts, and these are assigned to the PAM_RUSER and PAM_RHOST facilities respectively.

This module is intended for the ftpd(8) service.

The following options may be passed to the authentication module:

debug
    syslog(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level.

no_warn
    suppress warning messages to the user. These messages include reasons why the user's authentication attempt was declined.

no_anon
    Disallow anonymous access.

ignore
    Ingnore the password supplied, and do not use its constituent parts (username and hostname) as PAM_RUSER and PAM_RHOST respectively.
