+SUMMARY:
+ pam_listfile:
+ Checks a specified item against a list in a file.
+ Options:
+ * item=[tty|user|rhost|ruser|group|shell]
+ * sense=[allow|deny] (action to take if found in file,
+ if the item is NOT found in the file, then
+ the opposite action is requested)
+ * file=/the/file/to/get/the/list/from
+ * onerr=[succeed|fail] (if something weird happens
+ such as unable to open the file, what to do?)
+ * apply=[user|@group]
+ restrict the user class for which the restriction
+ apply. Note that with item=[user|ruser|group] this
+ does not make sense, but for item=[tty|rhost|shell]
+ it have a meaning. (Cristian Gafton)
+
+ Also checks to make sure that the list file is a plain
+ file and not world writable.
