The pam_env PAM module allows the (un)setting of environment variables\&. Supported is the use of previously set environment variables as well as
\fIPAM_ITEM\fRs such as
\fIPAM_RHOST\fR\&.

+By default rules for (un)setting of variables are taken from the config file
+/etc/security/pam_env\&.conf\&. An alternate file can be specified with the
+\fIconffile\fR
+option\&.
.PP
-This module can also parse a file with simple
+Second a file (/etc/environment
+by default) with simple
\fIKEY=VAL\fR
-pairs on separate lines (\FC/etc/environment\F[]
-by default)\&. You can change the default file to parse, with the
+pairs on separate lines will be read\&. With the
\fIenvfile\fR
-flag and turn it on or off by setting the
+option an alternate file can be specified\&. And with the
\fIreadenv\fR
-flag to 1 or 0 respectively\&.
+option this can be completly disabled\&.
+.PP
+Third it will read a user configuration file ($HOME/\&.pam_environment
+by default)\&. The default file file can be changed with the
+\fIuser_envfile\fR
+option and it can be turned on and off with the
+\fIuser_readenv\fR
+option\&.
.PP
Since setting of PAM environment variables can have side effects to other modules, this module should be the last one on the stack\&.
