      The pam_access PAM module is mainly for access management.
      It provides logdaemon style login access control based on login
      names, host or domain names, internet addresses or network numbers,
      or on terminal line names, X <code class="varname">$DISPLAY</code> values,
      or PAM service names in case of non-networked logins.
    </p><p>
      By default rules for access management are taken from config file
      <code class="filename">/etc/security/access.conf</code> if you don't specify
      another file.
      Then individual <code class="filename">*.conf</code> files from the
      <code class="filename">/etc/security/access.d/</code> directory are read.
      The files are parsed one after another in the order of the system locale.
      The effect of the individual files is the same as if all the files were
      concatenated together in the order of parsing. This means that once
      a pattern is matched in some file no further files are parsed.
      If a config file is explicitly specified with the <code class="option">accessfile</code>
      option the files in the above directory are not parsed.
    </p><p>
      If Linux PAM is compiled with audit support the module will report
      when it denies access based on origin (host, tty, etc.).
    </p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="sag-access.conf-description"></a>6.1.2. DESCRIPTION</h3></div></div></div><p>
      The <code class="filename">/etc/security/access.conf</code> file specifies
      (<em class="replaceable"><code>user/group</code></em>, <em class="replaceable"><code>host</code></em>),
      (<em class="replaceable"><code>user/group</code></em>, <em class="replaceable"><code>network/netmask</code></em>),
      (<em class="replaceable"><code>user/group</code></em>, <em class="replaceable"><code>tty</code></em>),
      (<em class="replaceable"><code>user/group</code></em>,
      <em class="replaceable"><code>X-$DISPLAY-value</code></em>), or
      (<em class="replaceable"><code>user/group</code></em>,
      <em class="replaceable"><code>pam-service-name</code></em>)
      combinations for which a login will be either accepted or refused.
    </p><p>
      When someone logs in, the file <code class="filename">access.conf</code> is
      scanned for the first entry that matches the
      (<em class="replaceable"><code>user/group</code></em>, <em class="replaceable"><code>host</code></em>) or
      (<em class="replaceable"><code>user/group</code></em>, <em class="replaceable"><code>network/netmask</code></em>)
      combination, or, in case of non-networked logins, the first entry
      that matches the
      (<em class="replaceable"><code>user/group</code></em>, <em class="replaceable"><code>tty</code></em>)
      combination, or in the case of non-networked logins without a
      tty, the first entry that matches the
      (<em class="replaceable"><code>user/group</code></em>,
      <em class="replaceable"><code>X-$DISPLAY-value</code></em>) or
      (<em class="replaceable"><code>user/group</code></em>,
      <em class="replaceable"><code>pam-service-name/</code></em>)
      combination.  The permissions field of that table entry
      determines
      whether the login will be accepted or refused.
   </p><p>
      Each line of the login access control table has three fields separated
      by a ":" character (colon):
    </p><p>
      <em class="replaceable"><code>permission</code></em>:<em class="replaceable"><code>users/groups</code></em>:<em class="replaceable"><code>origins</code></em>
    </p><p>
      The first field, the <em class="replaceable"><code>permission</code></em> field, can be either a
      "<span class="emphasis"><em>+</em></span>" character (plus) for access granted or a
      "<span class="emphasis"><em>-</em></span>" character (minus) for access denied.
    </p><p>
      The second field, the
      <em class="replaceable"><code>users</code></em>/<em class="replaceable"><code>group</code></em>
      field, should be a list of one or more login names, group names, or
      <span class="emphasis"><em>ALL</em></span> (which always matches). To differentiate
      user entries from group entries, group entries should be written
      with brackets, e.g. <span class="emphasis"><em>(group)</em></span>.
    </p><p>
      The third field, the <em class="replaceable"><code>origins</code></em>
      field, should be a list of one or more tty names (for non-networked
      logins), X <code class="varname">$DISPLAY</code> values or PAM service
      names (for non-networked logins without a tty), host names,
      domain names (begin with "."), host addresses,
      internet network numbers (end with "."), internet network addresses
      with network mask (where network mask can be a decimal number or an
      internet address also), <span class="emphasis"><em>ALL</em></span> (which always matches)
      or <span class="emphasis"><em>LOCAL</em></span>. The <span class="emphasis"><em>LOCAL</em></span>
      keyword matches if and only if
      <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">pam_get_item</span>(3)</span>,
      when called with an <em class="parameter"><code>item_type</code></em> of
      <span class="emphasis"><em>PAM_RHOST</em></span>, returns <code class="code">NULL</code> or an
      empty string (and therefore the
      <em class="replaceable"><code>origins</code></em> field is compared against the
      return value of
      <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">pam_get_item</span>(3)</span>
      called with an <em class="parameter"><code>item_type</code></em> of
      <span class="emphasis"><em>PAM_TTY</em></span> or, absent that,
      <span class="emphasis"><em>PAM_SERVICE</em></span>).
    </p><p>
      If supported by the system you can use
      <span class="emphasis"><em>@netgroupname</em></span> in host or user patterns. The
      <span class="emphasis"><em>@@netgroupname</em></span> syntax is supported in the user
      pattern only and it makes the local system hostname to be passed
      to the netgroup match call in addition to the user name. This might not
      work correctly on some libc implementations causing the match to
      always fail.
    </p><p>
      The <em class="replaceable"><code>EXCEPT</code></em> operator makes it possible to
      write very compact rules.
    </p><p>
       If the <code class="option">nodefgroup</code> is not set, the group file
       is searched when a name does not match that of the logged-in
       user. Only groups are matched in which users are explicitly listed.
       However the PAM module does not look at the primary group id of a user.
    </p><p>
      The "<span class="emphasis"><em>#</em></span>" character at start of line (no space
      at front) can be used to mark this line as a comment line.

            This option modifies the field separator character that
            pam_access will recognize when parsing the access
            configuration file. For example:
            <span class="emphasis"><em>fieldsep=|</em></span> will cause the
            default `:' character to be treated as part of a field value
            and `|' becomes the field separator. Doing this may be
            useful in conjunction with a system that wants to use
            pam_access with X based applications, since the
            <span class="emphasis"><em>PAM_TTY</em></span> item is likely to be
            of the form "hostname:0" which includes a `:' character in
            its value. But you should not need this.
          </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
          <code class="option">listsep=<em class="replaceable"><code>separators</code></em></code>
        </span></dt><dd><p>
            This option modifies the list separator character that
            pam_access will recognize when parsing the access
            configuration file. For example:
            <span class="emphasis"><em>listsep=,</em></span> will cause the
            default ` ' (space) and `\t' (tab) characters to be treated
            as part of a list element value and `,' becomes the only
            list element separator. Doing this may be useful on a system
            with group information obtained from a Windows domain,
            where the default built-in groups "Domain Users",
            "Domain Admins" contain a space.
