PAM_NOLOGIN(8) System Manager's Manual PAM_NOLOGIN(8) NAME pam_nologin -- NoLogin PAM module SYNOPSIS [service-name] module-type control-flag pam_nologin [options] DESCRIPTION The NoLogin authentication service module for PAM, pam_nologin provides functionality for only one PAM category: authentication. In terms of the module-type parameter, this is the "auth" feature. It also provides a null function for session management. NoLogin Authentication Module The NoLogin authentication component (pam_sm_authenticate()), always re- turns success for the superuser, and returns success for all other users if the file /var/run/nologin does not exist. If /var/run/nologin does exist, then its contents are echoed to non-superusers before failure is returned. If a "nologin" capability is specified in login.conf(5), then the file thus specified is used instead. This usually defaults to /var/run/nologin. The following options may be passed to the authentication module: debug syslog(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level. no_warn suppress warning messages to the user. These messages include reasons why the user's authentication attempt was declined. SEE ALSO syslog(3), login.conf(5), nologin(5), pam.conf(5), pam(8) FreeBSD 5.0 July 8, 2001 PAM_NOLOGIN(8)
