DESCRIPTION</h3></div></div></div><p>
pam_permit is a PAM module that always permit access. It does
nothing else.
</p><p>
In the case of authentication, the user's name will be set to
<span class="emphasis"><em>nobody</em></span> if the application didn't set one.
Many applications and PAM modules become confused if this name
is unknown.
</p><p>
This module is very dangerous. It should be used with extreme
caution.
