NAME

       pam_log - log messages to syslog


SYNOPSIS

       pam_log [-audit] [-debug[=LEVEL]] [-noopen] [-waitdebug[=SECONDS]]
       [-pri=FACILITY.PRIORITY] [-tag=LABEL] TEXT...


DESCRIPTION

       Sends diagnostic text to syslog.


OPTIONS

       -pri=FACILITY.PRIORITY
              Send text to the given syslog facility and priority.  Valid
              values for FACILITY are: user, daemon, auth, authpriv, and
              local0 through local7.  Valid values for PRIORITY are: emerg,
              alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info, and  debug.

              Either part can be omitted, in which case the following defaults
              are used: FACILITY=authpriv, PRIORITY=info.

       -tag=LABEL
              Use LABEL as the syslog tag, instead of the module name.

       -debug[=NUMBER]
              Set debugging level (0 <= NUMBER <= 100).

       -audit Log full debugging information (equivalent to debug=100).

       -waitdebug=N
              Wait for N seconds before starting up.  This option is intended
              to facilitate attaching to the module with gdb(1).  It is
              available only if the package was configured with the
              --enable-debug option.
