This module can be +configured to deny access to (individual) users based on their name, the time +of day, the day of week, the service they are applying for and their terminal +from which they are making their request. + +By default rules for time/port access are taken from config file /etc/security/ +time.conf. + +If Linux PAM is compiled with audit support the module will report when it +denies access. + +EXAMPLES + +These are some example lines which might be specified in /etc/security/ +time.conf. + +All users except for root are denied access to console-login at all times: + +login ; tty* & !ttyp* ; !root ; !Al0000-2400 + + +Games (configured to use PAM) are only to be accessed out of working hours. +This rule does not apply to the user waster: + +games ; * ; !waster ; Wd0000-2400 | Wk1800-0800 + + |
