      Here we list the generic arguments that all modules can expect to
      be passed. They are not mandatory, and their absence should be
      accepted without comment by the module.

             Use the <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">pam_syslog</span>(3)</span> call to log debugging information to the system

             The module should not prompt the user for a password.
             Instead, it should obtain the previously typed password
             (by a call to <code class="function">pam_get_item()</code> for the
             <em class="parameter"><code>PAM_AUTHTOK</code></em> item), and use that. If
             that doesn't work, then the user will not be authenticated.
             (This option is intended for <span class="command"><strong>auth</strong></span> and
             <span class="command"><strong>passwd</strong></span> modules only).
