Using pam_localuser.so and +pam_wheel.so or pam_listfile.so is an effective way to restrict access to +either local users and/or a subset of the network's users. + +This could also be implemented using pam_listfile.so and a very short awk +script invoked by cron, but it's common enough to have been separated out. + +.SH ARGUMENTS +.IP debug +turns on debugging +.IP file=\fBFILE\fP +uses a file other than \fB/etc/passwd\fP. + +.SH FILES +/etc/passwd + +.SH BUGS +Let's hope not, but if you find any, please report them via the "Bug Track" +link at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/ + +.SH AUTHOR +Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com> |
