pam_localuser(8)         System Administrator's Manual        pam_localuser(8)



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


SYNOPSIS
       account sufficient /lib/security/pam_localuser.so args
       account required /lib/security/pam_wheel.so group=devel


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 sepa-
       rated out.

       Let's hope not, but if you find any, please report them  via  the  "Bug
