+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+ <para>
+ The pam_access PAM module is mainly for access management.
+ It provides logdaemon style login access control based on login
+ names, host or domain names, internet addresses or network numbers,
+ or on terminal line names in case of non-networked logins.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ By default rules for access management are taken from config file
+ <filename>/etc/security/access.conf</filename> if you don't specify
+ another file.
+ </para>

+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ This option modifies the field separator character that
+ pam_access will recognize when parsing the access
+ configuration file. For example:
+ <emphasis remap='B'>fieldsep=|</emphasis> will cause the
+ default `:' character to be treated as part of a field value
+ and `|' becomes the field separator. Doing this may be
+ useful in conjuction with a system that wants to use
+ pam_access with X based applications, since the
+ <emphasis remap='B'>PAM_TTY</emphasis> item is likely to be
+ of the form "hostname:0" which includes a `:' character in
+ its value. But you should not need this.

+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ This option modifies the list separator character that
+ pam_access will recognize when parsing the access
+ configuration file. For example:
+ <emphasis remap='B'>listsep=,</emphasis> will cause the
+ default ` ' (space) and `\t' (tab) characters to be treated
+ as part of a list element value and `,' becomes the only
+ list element separator. Doing this may be useful on a system
+ with group information obtained from a Windows domain,
+ where the default built-in groups "Domain Users",
+ "Domain Admins" contain a space.
