NAME
sepermit.conf - configuration file for the pam_sepermit module
DESCRIPTION
The lines of the configuration file have the following syntax:
<user>[:<option>:<option>...]
The
user
can be specified in the following manner:
-
•
a username
-
•
a groupname, with
@group
syntax. This should not be confused with netgroups.
-
•
a SELinux user name with
%seuser
syntax.
The recognized options are:
exclusive
-
Only single login session will be allowed for the user and the user's processes will be killed on logout.
ignore
-
The module will never return PAM_SUCCESS status for the user. It will return PAM_IGNORE if SELinux is in the enforcing mode, and PAM_AUTH_ERR otherwise. It is useful if you want to support passwordless guest users and other confined users with passwords simultaneously.
The lines which start with # character are comments and are ignored.
EXAMPLES
These are some example lines which might be specified in
/etc/security/sepermit.conf.
-
%guest_u:exclusive
%staff_u:ignore
%user_u:ignore
