console.perms(5) System Administrator's Manual console.perms(5)NAMEconsole.perms - permissions control file for users at the system consoleDESCRIPTION/etc/security/console.perms determines the permissions that will be given to priviledged users of the console at login time, and the per- missions to which to revert when the users log out. It is read by the pam_console module. The format is: <class>=space-separated list of words login-regexp|<login-class> perm dev-glob|<dev-class> revert-mode revert-owner[.revert-group] The revert-mode, revert-owner, and revert-group fields are optional, and default to 0600, root, and root, respectively. The words in a class definition are evaluated as globs if they refer to files, but as regular expressions if they apply to a console defi- nition. Do not mix them. Any line can be broken and continued on the next line by using a character as the last character on the line. The login-class class and the login-regexp word are evaluated as regular expressions. The dev-class and the dev-glob word are evaluated as shell-style globs. If a name given corresponds to a directory, and if it is a mount point listed in /etc/fstab, the device node associated with the filesystem mounted at that point will be substituted in its place. Classes are denoted by being contained in < angle bracket > characters; a lack of < angle brackets > indicates that the string is to be taken literally as a login-regexp or a dev-glob, depending on its input position.SEE ALSOpam_console(8) pam_console_apply(8) console.apps(5)AUTHORMichael K.
