36.Dt PAM_LOGIN_ACCESS 8
37.Os
38.Sh NAME
39.Nm pam_login_access
40.Nd login.access PAM module
41.Sh SYNOPSIS
42.Op Ar service-name
43.Ar module-type
44.Ar control-flag
45.Pa pam_login_access
46.Op Ar options
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Pa login.access
50service module for PAM,
51.Nm
52provides functionality for only one PAM category:
53account management.
54In terms of the
55.Ar module-type
56parameter, this is the
57.Dq Li account
58feature.
59.Ss Login.access Account Management Module
60The
61.Pa login.access
62account management component
63.Pq Fn pam_sm_acct_mgmt ,
64returns success if and only the user is allowed to login on the
65specified tty (in the case of a local login) or from the specified
66remote host (in the case of a remote login), according to the
67restrictions listed in
68.Xr login.access 5 .
69.Bl -tag -width ".Cm accessfile=pathname"
70.It Cm accessfile Ns = Ns Ar pathname
71specifies a non-standard location for the
72.Pa login.access
73configuration file
74(normally located in
75.Pa /etc/login.access ) .
76.It Cm nodefgroup
77makes tokens not enclosed in parentheses only match users, requiring groups
78to be specified in parentheses.
79Without
80.Cm nodefgroup
81user and group names are intermingled, with user entries taking precedence
82over group entries.
83This is not backwards compatible with legacy
84.Pa login.access
85configuration files.
86However this mitigates confusion between users and
87groups of the same name.
88.It Cm fieldsep Ns = Ns Ar separators
89changes the field separator from the default ":".
90More than one separator
91may be specified.
92.It Cm listsep Ns = Ns Ar separators
93changes the field separator from the default space (''), tab (\\t) and
94comma (,).
95More than one separator may be specified.
96For example, listsep=;
97will replace the default with a semicolon (;).
98This option may be useful when specifying Active Directory groupnames which
99typically contain spaces.
