# 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.
