NAME
     pam_nologin -- NoLogin PAM module

SYNOPSIS
     [service-name] module-type control-flag pam_nologin [options]

DESCRIPTION
     The NoLogin service module for PAM, pam_nologin provides functionality
     for only one PAM category: account management.  In terms of the
     module-type parameter, this is the ``account'' feature.

   NoLogin Account Management Module
     The NoLogin account management component, pam_sm_acct_mgmt(), verifies
     whether logins are administratively disabled via nologin(5).  It returns
     success if the user's login class has an "ignorenologin" capability spec-
     ified in login.conf(5) or the nologin(5) file does not exist.  If neither
     condition is met, then the contents of nologin(5) are echoed before fail-
     ure is returned.  The location of nologin(5) is specified by a "nologin"
     capability in login.conf(5), which defaults to /var/run/nologin.

     The following options may be passed to the module:

     debug    syslog(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level.

     no_warn  suppress warning messages to the user.  These messages include
	      reasons why the user's login attempt was declined.

SEE ALSO

HISTORY
     pam_nologin originated from FreeBSD and first appeared in DragonFly 1.11.
