PAM_GROUP(8)							 Linux-PAM Manual						      PAM_GROUP(8)

NAME

       pam_group - PAM module for group access

SYNOPSIS

       pam_group.so

DESCRIPTION

       The pam_group PAM module does not authenticate the user, but instead it grants group memberships (in the credential setting phase of the
       authentication module) to the user. Such memberships are based on the service they are applying for.

       By default rules for group memberships are taken from config file /etc/security/group.conf.

       This module's usefulness relies on the file-systems accessible to the user. The point being that once granted the membership of a group,
       the user may attempt to create a setgid binary with a restricted group ownership. Later, when the user is not given membership to this
       group, they can recover group membership with the precompiled binary. The reason that the file-systems that the user has access to are so
       significant, is the fact that when a system is mounted nosuid the user is unable to create or execute such a binary file. For this module
       to provide any level of security, all file-systems that the user has write access to should be mounted nosuid.

       The pam_group module functions in parallel with the /etc/group file. If the user is granted any groups based on the behavior of this
       module, they are granted in addition to those entries /etc/group (or equivalent).
