SEPERMIT.CONF(5) Linux-PAM Manual SEPERMIT.CONF(5)

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
