pam_localuser
PAM_LOCALUSER(8) Linux-PAM Manual PAM_LOCALUSER(8)NAME
pam_localuser - require users to be listed in /etc/passwd
SYNOPSIS
pam_localuser.so [debug] [file=/path/passwd]
DESCRIPTION
pam_localuser is a PAM module to help implementing site-wide login policies, where they typically include a subset of the network's users
and a few accounts that are local to a particular workstation. Using pam_localuser and pam_wheel or pam_listfile is an effective way to
restrict access to either local users and/or a subset of the network's users.
This could also be implemented using pam_listfile.so and a very short awk script invoked by cron, but it's common enough to have been
separated out.
OPTIONS
debug
Print debug information.
file=/path/passwd
Use a file other than /etc/passwd.
MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
All module types (account, auth, password and session) are provided.
RETURN VALUES
PAM_SUCCESS
The new localuser was set successfully.
PAM_SERVICE_ERR
No username was given.
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
User not known.
EXAMPLES
Add the following line to /etc/pam.d/su to allow only local users in group wheel to use su.
account sufficient pam_localuser.so
account required pam_wheel.so
FILES
/etc/passwd
Local user account information.
