[Bug 983763] Re: pam_wheel parameter use_uid is not shown in man pages

[Steve Langasek]

The use_uid option is not documented because it's a no-op in Debian and
Ubuntu; we always use the uid by default, because getlogin() is
considered unreliable.  See Debian bug #163787 for the original
rationale.

** Changed in: pam (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  pam_wheel parameter use_uid is not shown in man pages

Status in “pam” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Ubuntu manpages do not show use_uid parameter for pam_wheel (e.g. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/en/man8/pam_wheel.8.html ), according to the source code parameter was introduced in version 0.1 of pam and it exists in the documentation source code (pam_wheel.8.xml) and in the module source code itself.
  Looks like it comes from Debian:
  no parameter in debian mans - http://manpages.debian.net/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pam_wheel&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=Debian+6.0+squeeze&format=html&locale=en
  and it exists in Fedora mans - http://linuxmanpages.net/manpages/fedora16/man8/pam_wheel.8.html
