pam_console_apply
pam_console_appy(8) System Administrator's Manual pam_console_appy(8)
NAME
pam_console_apply - set or revoke permissions for users at the system console
SYNOPSIS
pam_console_apply [-r]
DESCRIPTION
pam_console_apply sets or resets permissions on devices in the same manner as pam_console.
If /var/run/console.lock exists, pam_console_apply will grant permissions to the user listed therein. If the lock file does not exist,
permissions are reset to those listed in /etc/security/console.perms, which should be configured to set permissions on devices so that root
owns them.
ARGUMENTS
-r Signals pam_console_apply to reset permissions. The default is to set permissions so that the user listed in /var/run/console.lock
has access to the devices, and to reset permissions if no such file exists.
FILES
/var/run/console.lock
/etc/security/console.perms
