Package: libpam-pkcs11
Version: 0.6.12-1
Severity: normal

the pam_pkcs11 manpage contains no information whatsoever about how to
use the module.  Also, it refers to pam_pkcs11.conf manpage which is not
shipped with the package.  The result of all this is that the module is
basically unusable.  It isn't even clear where pam_pkcs11.conf file should
be.  Okay, examples/READMEs shipped in /usr/share/doc/libpam-pkcs11/
helps a bit, also strings and strace tools, but it's not where one looks
for the info usually.

Hello,

You can find more documentation on the project web page: 
https://github.com/OpenSC/pam_pkcs11/blob/master/README.md

PAM-PKCS11 User Manual is available at 
https://opensc.github.io/pam_pkcs11/doc/pam_pkcs11.html

I am not sure the manpages should contain everything.

As indicated in pam_pkcs11(8) the pam_pkcs11.conf file should be at 
/etc/pam_pkcs11/pam_pkcs11.conf

I agree the reference to pam_pkcs11.conf(5) is incorrect and should be fixed.
I reported the issue upstream at https://github.com/OpenSC/pam_pkcs11/issues/76

Bye
