        Note, all of the authentication service function calls accept the
        token <span class="emphasis"><em>PAM_SILENT</em></span>, which instructs
        the modules to not send messages to the application. This token
        can be logically OR'd with any one of the permitted tokens specific
        to the individual function calls.
        <span class="emphasis"><em>PAM_SILENT</em></span> does not override the
        prompting of the user for passwords etc., it only stops informative
        messages from being generated.
