+.SH "NAME"
+access.conf \- The login access control table file
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+This module provides logdaemon style login access control based on login names and on host (or domain) names, internet addresses (or network numbers), on terminal line names in case of non\-networked logins or on service name if called by a daemon.
+.PP
+The
+\fI/etc/security/access.conf\fR
+file specifies (\fIuser\fR,
+\fIhost\fR), (\fIuser\fR,
+\fInetwork/netmask\fR) or (\fIuser\fR,
+\fItty\fR) combinations for which a login will be either accepted or refused.
+.PP
+When someone logs in, the file
+\fIaccess.conf\fR
+is scanned for the first entry that matches the (\fIuser\fR,
+\fIhost\fR) or (\fIuser\fR,
+\fInetwork/netmask\fR) combination, or, in case of non\-networked logins, the first entry that matches the (\fIuser\fR,
+\fItty\fR) combination. The permissions field of that table entry determines whether the login will be accepted or refused.
+.PP
+Each line of the login access control table has three fields separated by a ":" character (colon):
+.PP
+\fIpermission\fR:\fIusers\fR:\fIorigins\fR
+.PP
+The first field, the
+\fIpermission\fR
+field, can be either a "\fI+\fR" character (plus) for access granted or a "\fI\-\fR" character (minus) for access denied.
+.PP
+The second field, the
+\fIusers\fR
+field, should be a list of one or more login names, group names, or
+\fIALL\fR
+(which always matches).
+.PP
+The third field, the
+\fIorigins\fR
+field, should be a list of one or more tty names (for non\-networked logins), host names, domain names (begin with "."), host addresses, internet network numbers (end with "."), internet network addresses with network mask (where network mask can be a decimal number or an internet address also),
+\fIALL\fR
+(which always matches) or
+\fILOCAL\fR
+(which matches any string that does not contain a "." character). If supported by the system you can use
+\fI@netgroupname\fR
+in host or user patterns.
+.PP
+The
+\fIexcept\fR
+operator makes it possible to write very compact rules.
+.PP
+The group file is searched only when a name does not match that of the logged\-in user. Only groups are matched in which users are explicitly listed. However the PAM module does not look at the primary group id of a user.
+.PP
+The "\fI#\fR" character at start of line (no space at front) can be used to mark this line as a comment line.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.PP
+These are some example lines which might be specified in
+\fI/etc/security/access.conf\fR.
+.PP
+User
+\fIroot\fR
+should be allowed to get access via
+\fIcron\fR, X11 terminal
+\fI:0\fR,
+\fItty1\fR, ...,
+\fItty5\fR,
+\fItty6\fR.
+.PP
++ : root : crond :0 tty1 tty2 tty3 tty4 tty5 tty6
+.PP
+User
+\fIroot\fR
+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.

+.PP
+User
+\fIroot\fR
+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
+\fI192.168.201.0/24\fR
+or
