# This is the configuration file for pam_env, a PAM module to load in

# a configurable list of environment variables for a

# The original idea for this came from Andrew G. Morgan ...

#   Mmm. Perhaps you might like to write a pam_env module that reads a
8
#   default environment from a file? I can see that as REALLY
9
#   useful... Note it would be an "auth" module that returns PAM_IGNORE
10
#   for the auth part and sets the environment returning PAM_SUCCESS in
11
#   the setcred function...

# What I wanted was the REMOTEHOST variable set, purely for selfish
15
# reasons, and AGM didn't want it added to the SimpleApps login
16
# program (which is where I added the patch). So, my first concern is
17
# that variable, from there there are numerous others that might/would
18
# be useful to be set: NNTPSERVER, LESS, PATH, PAGER, MANPAGER .....
19
#
20
# Of course, these are a different kind of variable than REMOTEHOST in
21
# that they are things that are likely to be configured by
22
# administrators rather than set by logging in, how to treat them both
23
# in the same config file?
24
#
25
# Here is my idea:
26
#
27
# Each line starts with the variable name, there are then two possible
28
# options for each variable DEFAULT and OVERRIDE.
29
# DEFAULT allows and administrator to set the value of the
30
# variable  to some default value, if none is supplied then the empty
31
# string is assumed. The OVERRIDE option tells pam_env that it should
32
# enter in its value (overriding the default value) if there is one
33
# to use. OVERRIDE is not used, "" is assumed and no override will be
34
# done.
35
#
36
# VARIABLE   [DEFAULT=[value]]  [OVERRIDE=[value]]
37
#
38
# (Possibly non-existent) environment variables may be used in values
39
# using the ${string} syntax and (possibly non-existent) PAM_ITEMs may
40
# be used in values using the @{string} syntax. Both the $ and @
41
# characters can be backslash escaped to be used as literal values
42
# values can be delimited with "", escaped " not supported.
43
# Note that many environment variables that you would like to use
44
# may not be set by the time the module is called.
45
# For example, HOME is used below several times, but
46
# many PAM applications don't make it available by the time you need it.
47
#
48
#
49
# First, some special variables
50
#
51
# Set the REMOTEHOST variable for any hosts that are remote, default
52
# to "localhost" rather than not being set at all
53
#REMOTEHOST	DEFAULT=localhost OVERRIDE=@{PAM_RHOST}
54
#
55
# Set the DISPLAY variable if it seems reasonable
56
#DISPLAY		DEFAULT=${REMOTEHOST}:0.0 OVERRIDE=${DISPLAY}
57
#
58
#
59
#  Now some simple variables
60
#
61
#PAGER		DEFAULT=less
62
#MANPAGER	DEFAULT=less
63
#LESS		DEFAULT="M q e h15 z23 b80"
64
#NNTPSERVER	DEFAULT=localhost
65
#PATH		DEFAULT=${HOME}/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin\
66
#:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin/X11:/usr/bin/X11
67
#
68
# silly examples of escaped variables, just to show how they work.
69

70
#DOLLAR		DEFAULT=\$
71
#DOLLARDOLLAR	DEFAULT=	OVERRIDE=\$${DOLLAR}
72
#DOLLARPLUS	DEFAULT=\${REMOTEHOST}${REMOTEHOST}
73
#ATSIGN		DEFAULT=""	OVERRIDE=\@
