pam_console

NAME

pam_console_apply - set or revoke permissions for users at the system console

SYNOPSIS

pam_console_apply [-r]

DESCRIPTION

pam_console_apply sets or resets permissions on devices in the same manner as pam_console.
If /var/run/console.lock exists, pam_console_apply will grant permissions to the user listed therein. If the lock file does not exist, permissions are reset to those listed in /etc/security/console.perms, which should be configured to set permissions on devices so that root owns them.

ARGUMENTS

-r: Signals pam_console_apply to reset permissions. The default is to set permissions so that the user listed in /var/run/console.lock has access to the devices, and to reset permissions if no such file exists.

FILES

/var/run/console.lock
/etc/security/console.perms
