NAME¶
login.access
—
login access control table
DESCRIPTION¶
Thelogin.access
file specifies on which ttys
or from which hosts certain users are allowed to login.
At login, the /etc/login.access file is
checked for the first entry that matches a specific user/host or user/tty
combination. That entry can either allow or deny login access to that user.
Each entry have three fields separated by colon:
- The first field indicates the permission given if the entry matches. It can be either “+” (allow access) or “-” (deny access) .
- The second field is a comma separated list of users or groups for which the current entry applies. NIS netgroups can used (if configured) if preceeded by @. The magic string ALL matches all users. A group will match if the user is a member of that group, or it is the user's primary group.
- The third field is a list of ttys, or network names. A network name can be either a hostname, a domain (indicated by a starting period), or a netgroup. As with the user list, ALL matches anything. LOCAL matches a string not containing a period.
BUGS¶
If there's a user and a group with the same name, there is no way to make the group match if the user also matches.SEE ALSO¶
