NoLogin PAM module
[service-name] module-type control-flag pam_nologin [options]
The NoLogin authentication service module for PAM provides
functionality for only one PAM category: authentication. In terms of the
module-type parameter, this is the
“auth
” feature. It also provides a
null function for session management.
The NoLogin authentication component
(pam_sm_authenticate
()),
always returns success for the superuser, and returns success for all other
users if the file /etc/nologin does not exist. If
/etc/nologin does exist, then its contents are
echoed to non-superusers before failure is returned. If a
"nologin" capability is specified in
login.conf(5), then the
file thus specified is used instead. This usually defaults to
/etc/nologin.
The following options may be passed to the authentication module:
