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.access(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 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.

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.
