pam_localuser — require users to be listed in /etc/passwd ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ DESCRIPTION pam_localuser is a PAM module to help implementing 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 and pam_wheel or pam_listfile 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 separated out. OPTIONS debug Print debug information. file=/path/passwd Use a file other than /etc/passwd. EXAMPLES Add the following line to /etc/pam.d/su to allow only local users in group wheel to use su. account sufficient pam_localuser.so account required pam_wheel.so AUTHOR pam_localuser was written by Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>.
