By +default it permits root access to the system if the applicant user is a member +of the wheel group. If no group with this name exist, the module is using the +group with the group-ID 0. + +OPTIONS + +debug + + Print debug information. + +deny + + Reverse the sense of the auth operation: if the user is trying to get UID 0 + access and is a member of the wheel group (or the group of the group + option), deny access. Conversely, if the user is not in the group, return + PAM_IGNORE (unless trust was also specified, in which case we return + PAM_SUCCESS). + +group=name + + Instead of checking the wheel or GID 0 groups, use the name group to + perform the authentication. + +root_only + + The check for wheel membership is done only when the target user UID is 0. + +trust + + The pam_wheel module will return PAM_SUCCESS instead of PAM_IGNORE if the + user is a member of the wheel group (thus with a little play stacking the + modules the wheel members may be able to su to root without being prompted + for a passwd). + +use_uid + + The check for wheel membership will be done against the current uid instead + of the original one (useful when jumping with su from one account to + another for example). + +EXAMPLES + +The root account gains access by default (rootok), only wheel members can +become root (wheel) but Unix authenticate non-root applicants. + +su auth sufficient pam_rootok.so +su auth required pam_wheel.so +su auth required pam_unix.so + + +AUTHOR + +pam_wheel was written by Cristian Gafton <gafton@redhat.com>. + diff --git a/modules/pam_wheel/README.xml b/modules/pam_wheel/README.xml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..9e33d7f --- /dev/null +++ b/modules/pam_wheel/README.xml @@ -0,0 +1,41 @@ +<?xml version="1.0" encoding='UTF-8'?> +<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.3//EN" +"http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.3/docbookx.dtd" +[ +<!-- +<!ENTITY pamaccess SYSTEM "pam_wheel.8.xml"> +--> +]> + +<article> + + <articleinfo> + + <title> + <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" + href="pam_wheel.8.xml" xpointer='xpointer(//refnamediv[@id = "pam_wheel-name"]/*)'/> + </title> + + </articleinfo> + + <section> + <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" + href="pam_wheel.8.xml" xpointer='xpointer(//refsect1[@id = "pam_wheel-description"]/*)'/> + </section> + + <section> + <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" + href="pam_wheel.8.xml" xpointer='xpointer(//refsect1[@id = "pam_wheel-options"]/*)'/> + </section> + + <section> + <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" + href="pam_wheel.8.xml" xpointer='xpointer(//refsect1[@id = "pam_wheel-examples"]/*)'/> + </section> + + <section> + <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" + href="pam_wheel.8.xml" xpointer='xpointer(//refsect1[@id = "pam_wheel-author"]/*)'/> + </section> + +</article> |
