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.
