PAM_LOGIN_ACCESS(8)	     System Manager's Manual	     PAM_LOGIN_ACCESS(8)

NAME
     pam_login_access -- login.access PAM module

SYNOPSIS
     [service-name] module-type control-flag pam_login_access [options]

DESCRIPTION
     The  login.access	service  module for PAM, pam_login_access provides func-
     tionality for only one PAM category: account management.  In terms  of  the
     module-type parameter, this is the "account" feature.

   Login.access Account Management Module
     The login.access account management component (pam_sm_acct_mgmt()), returns
     success  if  and only the user is allowed to login on the specified tty (in
     the case of a local login) or from the specified remote host (in  the  case
     of  a  remote  login),  according	to  the restrictions listed in login.ac-
     cess(5).

     accessfile=pathname  specifies a non-standard location for the login.access
			  configuration    file     (normally	  located     in
			  /etc/login.access).

     nodefgroup 	  makes  tokens  not  enclosed in parentheses only match
			  users, requiring groups to be specified  in  parenthe-
			  ses.	 Without nodefgroup user and group names are in-
			  termingled, with user entries taking	precedence  over
			  group  entries.  This is not backwards compatible with
			  legacy login.access configuration files.  However this
			  mitigates confusion between users and  groups  of  the
			  same name.

     fieldsep=separators  changes  the	field  separator  from	the default ":".
			  More than one separator may be specified.

     listsep=separators   changes the field separator  from  the  default  space
			  (''), tab (\t) and comma (,).  More than one separator
			  may be specified.  For example, listsep=; will replace
			  the  default with a semicolon (;).  This option may be
			  useful when  specifying  Active  Directory  groupnames
			  which typically contain spaces.
