PAM_ACCESS(8)		       Linux-PAM Manual			 PAM_ACCESS(8)

NAME
       pam_access - PAM module for logdaemon style login access control

SYNOPSIS
       pam_access.so [debug] [nodefgroup] [noaudit] [accessfile=file]
		     [fieldsep=sep] [listsep=sep]

DESCRIPTION
       The pam_access PAM module is mainly for access management. It provides
       logdaemon style login access control based on login names, host or
       domain names, internet addresses or network numbers, or on terminal
       line names in case of non-networked logins.

       By default rules for access management are taken from config file
       /etc/security/access.conf if you don´t specify another file.

       If Linux PAM is compiled with audit support the module will report when
       it denies access based on origin (host or tty).

OPTIONS
       accessfile=/path/to/access.conf
	   Indicate an alternative access.conf style configuration file to
	   override the default. This can be useful when different services
	   need different access lists.

       debug
	   A lot of debug information is printed with syslog(3).

       noaudit
	   Do not report logins from disallowed hosts and ttys to the audit
	   subsystem.

       fieldsep=separators
	   This option modifies the field separator character that pam_access
	   will recognize when parsing the access configuration file. For
	   example: fieldsep=| will cause the default `:´ character to be
	   treated as part of a field value and `|´ becomes the field
	   separator. Doing this may be useful in conjunction with a system
	   that wants to use pam_access with X based applications, since the
	   PAM_TTY item is likely to be of the form "hostname:0" which
	   includes a `:´ character in its value. But you should not need
	   this.

       listsep=separators
	   This option modifies the list separator character that pam_access
	   will recognize when parsing the access configuration file. For
	   example: listsep=, will cause the default ` ´ (space) and `\t´
	   (tab) characters to be treated as part of a list element value and
	   `,´ becomes the only list element separator. Doing this may be
	   useful on a system with group information obtained from a Windows
	   domain, where the default built-in groups "Domain Users", "Domain
	   Admins" contain a space.

       nodefgroup
	   User tokens which are not enclosed in parentheses will not be
	   matched against the group database. The backwards compatible
	   default is to try the group database match even for tokens not
	   enclosed in parentheses.

MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
       All module types (auth, account, password and session) are provided.

RETURN VALUES
       PAM_SUCCESS
	   Access was granted.

       PAM_PERM_DENIED
	   Access was not granted.

       PAM_IGNORE

	   pam_setcred was called which does nothing.

       PAM_ABORT
	   Not all relevant data or options could be gotten.

       PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
	   The user is not known to the system.

FILES
       /etc/security/access.conf
	   Default configuration file

SEE ALSO
       access.conf(5), pam.d(5), pam(8).

AUTHORS
       The logdaemon style login access control scheme was designed and
       implemented by Wietse Venema. The pam_access PAM module was developed
       by Alexei Nogin <alexei@nogin.dnttm.ru>. The IPv6 support and the
       network(address) / netmask feature was developed and provided by Mike
       Becher <mike.becher@lrz-muenchen.de>.
