PAM_ECHO(8)

NAME
pam_echo - Echo PAM module

SYNOPSIS
[service-name] module-type control-flag pam_echo [arguments]

DESCRIPTION
The echo service module for PAM displays its arguments to the user, separated by spaces, using the current conversation function.

If the % character occurs anywhere in the arguments to pam_echo, it is assumed to introduce one of the following escape sequences:

%H  The name of the host on which the client runs (PAM_RHOST).

%s  The current service name (PAM_SERVICE).

%t  The name of the controlling tty (PAM_TTY).

%U  The applicant's user name (PAM_RUSER).

%u  The target account's user name (PAM_USER).

Any other two-character sequence beginning with % expands to the character following the % character.
