-pam_wheel — Only permit root access to members of group wheel
-
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-
-DESCRIPTION
-
-The pam_wheel PAM module is used to enforce the so-called wheel group. By
-default it permits root access to the system if the applicant user is a member
-of the wheel group. If no group with this name exist, the module is using the
-group with the group-ID 0.
-
-OPTIONS
-
-debug
-
- Print debug information.
-
-deny
-
- Reverse the sense of the auth operation: if the user is trying to get UID 0
- access and is a member of the wheel group (or the group of the group
- option), deny access. Conversely, if the user is not in the group, return
- PAM_IGNORE (unless trust was also specified, in which case we return
- PAM_SUCCESS).
-
-group=name
-
- Instead of checking the wheel or GID 0 groups, use the name group to
- perform the authentication.
-
-root_only
-
- The check for wheel membership is done only.
-
-trust
-
- The pam_wheel module will return PAM_SUCCESS instead of PAM_IGNORE if the
- user is a member of the wheel group (thus with a little play stacking the
- modules the wheel members may be able to su to root without being prompted
- for a passwd).
-
-use_uid
-
- The check for wheel membership will be done against the current uid instead
- of the original one (useful when jumping with su from one account to
- another for example).
-
-EXAMPLES
-
-The root account gains access by default (rootok), only wheel members can
-become root (wheel) but Unix authenticate non-root applicants.
-
-su auth sufficient pam_rootok.so
-su auth required pam_wheel.so
-su auth required pam_unix.so
