NAME
       pam_rps - challenge-response authentication


SYNOPSIS
       auth sufficient pam_rps.so


DESCRIPTION
       pam_rps.so  is designed to provide a true challenge-response authenti-
       cation mechanism for PAM-enabled applications.

       Without pam_rps, successful authentication can only occur for  a	 user
       if the user has previously established an authentication token for use
       with the server.	 Using pam_rps removes this limitation.


ARGUMENTS
       debug  Enable module debugging.	The module will log its	 progress  to
	      syslog.

       throw=number
	      The  challenge issued to the user is derived from a random num-
	      ber.  This argument allows the administrator to  control	which
	      challenge	 will  be  presented  to  the user.  This argument is
	      meant for use only when debugging.


NOTES
       Never use this module.
