This added restriction is only meaningful when used with the +\fItty\fR, +\fIrhost\fR +and +\fIshell\fR +items\&. +.PP +Besides this last one, all arguments should be specified; do not count on any default behavior\&. +.PP +No credentials are awarded by this module\&. +.SH "OPTIONS" +.PP +.PP +\fBitem=[tty|user|rhost|ruser|group|shell]\fR +.RS 4 +What is listed in the file and should be checked for\&. +.RE +.PP +\fBsense=[allow|deny]\fR +.RS 4 +Action to take if found in file, if the item is NOT found in the file, then the opposite action is requested\&. +.RE +.PP +\fBfile=\fR\fB\fI/path/filename\fR\fR +.RS 4 +File containing one item per line\&.
