.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The pam_group PAM module does not authenticate the user, but instead it grants group memberships (in the credential setting phase of the authentication module) to the user\&. Such memberships are based on the service they are applying for\&.
.PP
For this module to function correctly there must be a correctly formatted
-\FC/etc/security/group\&.conf\F[]
-file present\&. White spaces are ignored and lines maybe extended with \'\e\' (escaped newlines)\&. Text following a \'#\' is ignored to the end of the line\&.

.PP
The
\fItimes\fR
field is used to indicate "when" these groups are to be given to the user\&. The format here is a logic list of day/time\-range entries\&. The days are specified by a sequence of two character entries, MoTuSa for example is Monday Tuesday and Saturday\&. Note that repeated days are unset MoMo = no day, and MoWk = all weekdays bar Monday\&. The two character combinations accepted are Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su Wk Wd Al, the last two being week\-end days and all 7 days of the week respectively\&. As a final example, AlFr means all days except Friday\&.
.PP
-Each day/time\-range can be prefixed with a \'!\' to indicate "anything but"\&. The time\-range part is two 24\-hour times HHMM, separated by a hyphen, indicating the start and finish time (if the finish time is smaller than the start time it is deemed to apply on the following day)\&.
