The permissions field of that table entry determines whether the login will be accepted or refused. .Pp Each line of the login access control table has three fields separated by a .Ql \&: character: .Ar permission : Ns Ar users : Ns Ar origins .Pp The first field should be a "+" (access granted) or "-" (access denied) character. .Pp The second field should be a list of one or more login names, group names, or ALL (always matches). .Pp The third field should be a list of one or more tty names (for non-networked logins), host names, domain names (begin with "."), host addresses, internet network numbers (end with "."), ALL (always matches) or LOCAL (matches any string that does not contain a "." character). If you run NIS you can use @netgroupname in host or user patterns. .Pp The EXCEPT operator makes it possible to write very compact rules. .Pp The group file is searched only when a name does not match that of the logged-in user. Only groups are matched in which users are explicitly listed: the program does not look at a user's primary group id value. .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /etc/login.access -compact .It Pa /etc/login.access login access control table .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr login 1 , .Xr pam_login_access 8 .Sh AUTHORS .An Guido van Rooij
