42 .Nd login.access PAM module
52 service module for PAM,
54 provides functionality for only one PAM category:
58 parameter, this is the
61 .Ss Login.access Account Management Module
64 account management component
65 .Pq Fn pam_sm_acct_mgmt ,
66 returns success if and only the user is allowed to login on the
67 specified tty (in the case of a local login) or from the specified
68 remote host (in the case of a remote login), according to the
69 restrictions listed in

72 .It Cm accessfile Ns = Ns Ar pathname
73 specifies a non-standard location for the
77 .Pa /etc/login.access ) .
79 makes tokens not enclosed in parentheses only match users, requiring groups
80 to be specified in parentheses.
83 user and group names are intermingled, with user entries taking precedence
85 This is not backwards compatible with legacy
88 However this mitigates confusion between users and
89 groups of the same name.
90 .It Cm fieldsep Ns = Ns Ar separators
91 changes the field separator from the default ":".
92 More than one separator
94 .It Cm listsep Ns = Ns Ar separators
95 changes the field separator from the default space (''), tab (\\t) and
97 More than one separator may be specified.
98 For example, listsep=;
99 will replace the default with a semicolon (;).
100 This option may be useful when specifying Active Directory groupnames which
101 typically contain spaces.
111 access control scheme was designed and implemented by
