PAM_GROUP(8) System Manager's Manual PAM_GROUP(8) NAME pam_group -- Group PAM module SYNOPSIS [service-name] module-type control-flag pam_group [arguments] DESCRIPTION The group service module for PAM accepts or rejects users based on their membership in a particular file group. pam_group provides func- tionality for two PAM categories: authentication and account manage- ment. In terms of the module-type parameter, they are the ``auth'' and ``account'' features. The following options may be passed to the pam_group module: deny Reverse the meaning of the test, i.e., reject the applicant if and only if he or she is a member of the specified group. This can be useful to exclude certain groups of users from certain services. fail_safe If the specified group does not exist, or has no members, act as if it does exist and the applicant is a member. group=groupname Specify the name of the group to check. The default is "wheel". luser Accept or reject based on the target user's group member- ship. root_only Skip this module entirely if the target account is not the superuser account. ruser Accept or reject based on the supplicant's group membership. This is the default. Note that the luser and ruser options are mutually exclusive, and that pam_group will fail if both are specified.
