-pam_access — PAM module for logdaemon style login access control
-
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-
-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, X
-$DISPLAY values, or PAM service 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. Then individual *.conf files
-from the /etc/security/access.d/ directory are read. The files are parsed one
-after another in the order of the system locale. The effect of the individual
-files is the same as if all the files were concatenated together in the order
-of parsing. This means that once a pattern is matched in some file no further
-files are parsed. If a config file is explicitly specified with the accessfile
-option the files in the above directory are not parsed.
-
-By default rules for access management are taken from config file /etc/security
-/access.conf or, if that one is not present, the file %vendordir%/security/
-access.conf. These settings can be overruled by setting in a config file
-explicitly specified with the accessfile option. Then individual *.conf files
-from the /etc/security/access.d/ and %vendordir%/security/access.d directories
-are read. If /etc/security/access.d/@filename@.conf exists, then %vendordir%/
-security/access.d/@filename@.conf will not be used. All access.d/*.conf files
-are sorted by their @filename@.conf in lexicographic order regardless of which
-of the directories they reside in. The effect of the individual files is the
-same as if all the files were concatenated together in the order of parsing.
-This means that once a pattern is matched in some file no further files are
-parsed. If a config file is explicitly specified with the accessfile option the
-files in the above directories are not parsed.
-
-If Linux PAM is compiled with audit support the module will report when it
-denies access based on origin (host, tty, etc.).
-
-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.
-
-EXAMPLES
-
-These are some example lines which might be specified in /etc/security/
-access.conf.
-
-User root should be allowed to get access via cron, X11 terminal :0, tty1, ...,
-tty5, tty6.
-
-+:root:crond :0 tty1 tty2 tty3 tty4 tty5 tty6
-
-User root should be allowed to get access from hosts which own the IPv4
-addresses. This does not mean that the connection have to be a IPv4 one, a IPv6
-connection from a host with one of this IPv4 addresses does work, too.
-
-+:root:192.168.200.1 192.168.200.4 192.168.200.9
-
-+:root:127.0.0.1
-
-User root should get access from network 192.168.201. where the term will be
-evaluated by string matching. But it might be better to use network/netmask
-instead. The same meaning of 192.168.201. is 192.168.201.0/24 or 192.168.201.0/
-255.255.255.0.
-
-+:root:192.168.201.
-
-User root should be able to have access from hosts foo1.bar.org and
-foo2.bar.org (uses string matching also).
-
-+:root:foo1.bar.org foo2.bar.org
-
-User root should be able to have access from domain foo.bar.org (uses string
-matching also).
-
-+:root:.foo.bar.org
-
-User root should be denied to get access from all other sources.
-
--:root:ALL
-
-User foo and members of netgroup admins should be allowed to get access from
-all sources. This will only work if netgroup service is available.
-
-+:@admins foo:ALL
-
-User john and foo should get access from IPv6 host address.
-
-+:john foo:2001:db8:0:101::1
-
-User john should get access from IPv6 net/mask.
-
-+:john:2001:db8:0:101::/64
-
-Members of group wheel should be allowed to get access from all sources.
-
-+:(wheel):ALL
-
-Disallow console logins to all but the shutdown, sync and all other accounts,
-which are a member of the wheel group.
-
--:ALL EXCEPT (wheel) shutdown sync:LOCAL
-
-All other users should be denied to get access from all sources.
-
--:ALL:ALL
