PAM_NOLOGIN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual PAM_NOLOGIN(8) NAME pam_nologin — NoLogin PAM module SYNOPSIS [service-name] module-type control-flag pam_nologin [options] DESCRIPTION The NoLogin service module for PAM, pam_nologin provides functionality for only one PAM category: account management. In terms of the module-type parameter, this is the “account” feature. NoLogin Account Management Module The NoLogin account management component, pam_sm_acct_mgmt(), verifies whether logins are administratively disabled via nologin(5). It returns success if the user's login class has an "ignorenologin" capability spec‐ ified in login.conf(5) or the nologin(5) file does not exist. If neither condition is met, then the contents of nologin(5) are echoed before fail‐ ure is returned. The location of nologin(5) is specified by a "nologin" capability in login.conf(5), which defaults to /var/run/nologin. The following options may be passed to the module: debug syslog(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level. no_warn suppress warning messages to the user. These messages include reasons why the user's login attempt was declined. SEE ALSO syslog(3), login.conf(5), nologin(5), pam.conf(5), pam(8) BSD June 10, 2007 BSD
