.SH NAME
pam_localuser \- require users to be listed in /etc/passwd

.SH SYNOPSIS
.B account sufficient /lib/security/pam_localuser.so \fIargs\fP
.br
.B account required /lib/security/pam_wheel.so group=devel

.SH DESCRIPTION
pam_localuser.so exists to help implement site-wide login policies, where
they typically include a subset of the network's users and a few accounts
that are local to a particular workstation.  Using pam_localuser.so and
pam_wheel.so or pam_listfile.so is an effective way to restrict access to
either local users and/or a subset of the network's users.

This could also be implemented using pam_listfile.so and a very short awk
script invoked by cron, but it's common enough to have been separated out.
