+.SH "NAME"
+group.conf \- configuration file for the pam_group module
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The pam_group PAM module does not authenticate the user, but instead it grants group memberships (in the credential setting phase of the authentication module) to the user\&. Such memberships are based on the service they are applying for\&.
+.PP
+For this module to function correctly there must be a correctly formatted
+/etc/security/group\&.conf
+file present\&. White spaces are ignored and lines maybe extended with \*(Aq\e\*(Aq (escaped newlines)\&. Text following a \*(Aq#\*(Aq is ignored to the end of the line\&.
+.PP
+The syntax of the lines is as follows:
+.PP
+\fIservices\fR;\fIttys\fR;\fIusers\fR;\fItimes\fR;\fIgroups\fR
+.PP
+The first field, the
+\fIservices\fR
+field, is a logic list of PAM service names that the rule applies to\&.
+.PP
+The second field, the
+\fItty\fR
+field, is a logic list of terminal names that this rule applies to\&.
+.PP
+The third field, the
+\fIusers\fR
+field, is a logic list of users, or a UNIX group, or a netgroup of users to whom this rule applies\&. Group names are preceded by a \*(Aq%\*(Aq symbol, while netgroup names are preceded by a \*(Aq@\*(Aq symbol\&.
+.PP
+A logic list namely means individual tokens that are optionally prefixed with \*(Aq!\*(Aq (logical not) and separated with \*(Aq&\*(Aq (logical and) and \*(Aq|\*(Aq (logical or)\&.
+.PP
+For these items the simple wildcard \*(Aq*\*(Aq may be used only once\&. With UNIX groups or netgroups no wildcards or logic operators are allowed\&.
+.PP
+The
+\fItimes\fR
+field is used to indicate "when" these groups are to be given to the user\&. The format here is a logic list of day/time\-range entries\&. The days are specified by a sequence of two character entries, MoTuSa for example is Monday Tuesday and Saturday\&. Note that repeated days are unset MoMo = no day, and MoWk = all weekdays bar Monday\&. The two character combinations accepted are Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su Wk Wd Al, the last two being week\-end days and all 7 days of the week respectively\&. As a final example, AlFr means all days except Friday\&.
+.PP
+Each day/time\-range can be prefixed with a \*(Aq!\*(Aq to indicate "anything but"\&. The time\-range part is two 24\-hour times HHMM, separated by a hyphen, indicating the start and finish time (if the finish time is smaller than the start time it is deemed to apply on the following day)\&.
+.PP
+The
+\fIgroups\fR
+field is a comma or space separated list of groups that the user inherits membership of\&. These groups are added if the previous fields are satisfied by the user\*(Aqs request\&.
+.PP
+For a rule to be active, ALL of service+ttys+users must be satisfied by the applying process\&.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.PP
+These are some example lines which might be specified in
+/etc/security/group\&.conf\&.
