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

pam_login_access —
login.access PAM module

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

The login.access service module for PAM, pam_login_access provides functionality for only one PAM category: account management. In terms of the module-type parameter, this is the “account” feature.

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.access(5).
=pathname
specifies a non-standard location for the login.access configuration file (normally located in /etc/login.access).
makes tokens not enclosed in parentheses only match users, requiring groups to be specified in parentheses. Without nodefgroup user and group names are intermingled, 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.
=separators
changes the field separator from the default ":". More than one separator may be specified.
=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.

pam(3), syslog(3), login.access(5), pam.conf(5)

The login.access(5) access control scheme was designed and implemented by Wietse Venema.

The pam_login_access module and this manual page were developed for the FreeBSD Project by ThinkSec AS and NAI Labs, the Security Research Division of Network Associates, Inc. under DARPA/SPAWAR contract N66001-01-C-8035 (“CBOSS”), as part of the DARPA CHATS research program.
