pam_self

[Daniel Goering <g_daniel gmx net>]

Hi,

is there something like the FreeBSD pam_self module for Linux-PAM?

Description

The Self authentication service module for PAM, pam_self provides
functionality for only one PAM category: authentication. In terms of the
module-type parameter, this is the ‘‘auth’’ feature.

Self Authentication Module
The Self authentication component (pam_sm_authenticate()), returns
success if and only if the target user’s user ID is identical with the
current real user ID. If the current real user ID is zero,
authentication will fail, unless the allow_root option was specified.
