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.

FILES
       /etc/passwd

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