NAME
pam_localuser - require users to be listed in /etc/passwd
SYNOPSIS
account sufficient /lib/security/pam_localuser.so args account required /lib/security/pam_wheel.so group=devel
DESCRIPTION
pam_localuser.so exists to help implement 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.so and pam_wheel.so or pam_listfile.so 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 sepa- rated out.
ARGUMENTS
debug turns on debugging file=FILE uses a file other than /etc/passwd.
FILES
/etc/passwd
