The above worked. I really appreciate your help. Would you mind explaining me the whole command above?
Thanks a lot.
The command bipinajith supplied:
reads lines from /etc/pam.conf and for any line where the first field is exactly the string ssh or the string emagent it replaces the string prohibit in the last field in the line with the stringaix. It then writes the updated file to standard output (usually the terminal where you run the command) unless you redirect the output to a different file.
The pipeline that you say is working should turn the file /etc/pam.conf into an empty file. The pipeline uses that file both as an input file and as an output file. When you do this, the shell will throw away the current contents of the file before starting cat to feed the (now empty) contents of the file into awk.

Hi there.
I'm facing a strange & an intriguing behaviour with sed while replacing the tab character with a space reading from a file. It randomly works sometimes but mostly doesn't work.

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.
