pamusb-check(1)

NAME
pamusb-check - simulates pam_usb authentication

SYNOPSIS
Usage: pamusb-check [--help] [--debug] [--config=path] [--service=name] [--dump]
[--quiet] <username>

DESCRIPTION
pamusb-check can simulate authentication through the pam_usb engine. It is useful for both testing purposes (to check the pam_usb configuration without having to try with a real program), but also for scripting. pamusb-check's exit code is 0 if the authentication was successful, 1 otherwise. It is used by pamusb-agent to check the device.

EXAMPLES
$ pamusb-check scox

•   Authentication request for user "scox" (pamusb-check)

•   Device "creative" is connected (good).

•   Access granted.

$ pamusb-check --service=su scox

•   Authentication request for user "scox" (su)

•   Device "creative" is connected (good).

•   Access granted.

$ pamusb-check --dump scox
