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

SYNOPSIS
       pam_console_apply [-f <fstab file>]  [-c	 <console.perms	 file>]	 [-r]
       [<device file> ...]

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
       -c     Load other console.perms file than the default one.

       -f     Load other fstab file than the default one (/etc/fstab).

       -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.

       The  optional  <device  file> arguments constrain what files should be
       affected by pam_console_apply. If they  aren’t  specified  permissions
       are changed on all files specified in the console.perms file.

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