NAME
       pam_console_apply  -  set or revoke permissions for users at the system
       console

SYNOPSIS
       pam_console_apply [-r]

DESCRIPTION
       pam_console_apply sets or resets permissions on  devices  in  the  same
       manner as pam_console.
       If  /var/run/console.lock  exists, pam_console_apply will grant permis-
       sions to the user listed therein.  If the lock  file  does  not  exist,
       permissions  are  reset to those listed in /etc/security/console.perms,
       which should be configured to set permissions on devices so  that  root
       owns them.

ARGUMENTS
       -r     Signals  pam_console_apply to reset permissions.  The default is
              to set permissions so that  the  user  listed  in  /var/run/con-
              sole.lock has access to the devices, and to reset permissions if
              no such file exists.

FILES
       /var/run/console.lock
       /etc/security/console.perms
