Chapter 8. Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) 119
The devices affected include, but are not limited to, sound cards, floppy drives, and CD-ROM drives.
This allows a local user to manipulate these devices without attaining root, thus simplifying common
tasks for the console user.
You can edit the list of devices controlled by pam_console.so in the file
/etc/security/console.perms.
8.8.2. Application Access
The console user is also allowed access to any program with a file bearing the command name in the
/etc/security/console.apps/ directory. These files do not need to contain any data, but must
have the exact name of the to which command they correspond.
One notable group of applications the console user has access to are three programs which shut off or
reboot the system. These are:
/sbin/halt
/sbin/reboot
/sbin/poweroff
Because these are PAM-aware applications, they call the pam_console.so as a requirement for use.
For more information see the man pages for pam_console, console.perms, and console.apps.
8.9. Additional Resources
Much more information about PAM is available than what is covered in this chapter. Various additional
sources of information exist and will prove invaluable in helping to configure and use PAM on your
system.
8.9.1. Installed Documentation
pam man page — Good introductory information on PAM, including the structure and purpose of
the PAM configuration files.
/usr/share/doc/pam-version-number — Contains a System Administrators’ Guide, a Mod-
ule Writers’ Manual, and an Application Developers’ Manual. Also contains a copy of the PAM
standard, DCE-RFC 86.0.
8.9.2. Useful Websites
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam The primary distribution website for the Linux-PAM
project, containing information on various PAM modules, a FAQ, and additional PAM documenta-
tion.
In addition to these sources, you should read as many configuration file examples as possible when
beginning to work with PAM.
