PAM_NOLOGIN(8)                           Linux-PAM Manual                          PAM_NOLOGIN(8)



NAME
       pam_nologin - Prevent non-root users from login

SYNOPSIS
       pam_nologin.so [file=/path/nologin] [successok]

DESCRIPTION
       pam_nologin is a PAM module that prevents users from logging into the system when
       /etc/nologin exists. The contents of the /etc/nologin file are displayed to the user. The
       pam_nologin module has no effect on the root user's ability to log in.

OPTIONS
       file=/path/nologin
           Use this file instead the default /etc/nologin.

       successok
           Return PAM_SUCCESS if no file exists, the default is PAM_IGNORE.

MODULE SERVICES PROVIDED
       The auth and acct services are supported.

RETURN VALUES
       PAM_AUTH_ERR
           The user is not root and /etc/nologin exists, so the user is not permitted to log in.

       PAM_BUF_ERR
           Memory buffer error.

       PAM_IGNORE
           This is the default return value.

       PAM_SUCCESS
           Success: either the user is root or the /etc/nologin file does not exist.

       PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
           User not known to the underlying authentication module.

EXAMPLES
       The suggested usage for /etc/pam.d/login is:

           auth  required  pam_nologin.so



NOTES
       In order to make this module effective, all login methods should be secured by it. It
       should be used as a required method listed before any sufficient methods in order to get
       standard Unix nologin semantics. Note, the use of successok module argument causes the
       module to return PAM_SUCCESS and as such would break such a configuration - failing
       sufficient modules would lead to a successful login because the nologin module succeeded.
