PAM_GROUP(8) System Manager's Manual PAM_GROUP(8) NAME pam_group - Group PAM module SYNOPSIS [service-name] module-type control-flag pam_group [arguments] DESCRIPTION The group service module for PAM accepts or rejects users based on their membership in a particular file group. The following options may be passed to the pam_group module: deny Reverse the meaning of the test, i.e., reject the applicant if and only if he or she is a member of the specified group. This can be useful to exclude certain groups of users from certain services. fail_safe If the specified group does not exist, or has no members, act as if it does exist and the applicant is a member. group=groupname Specify the name of the group to check. The default is "wheel". root_only Skip this module entirely if the target account is not the superuser account. authenticate The user is asked to authenticate using his own password.
