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.


ARGUMENTS
       debug  turns on debugging

       file=FILE
	      uses a file other than /etc/passwd.

       Let’s hope not, but if you find any, please report them via  the	 "Bug
       Track" link at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/
