pam_localuser − require users to be listed in /etc/passwd
account
sufficient /lib/security/pam_localuser.so args
account required /lib/security/pam_wheel.so
group=devel
pam_localuser.so exists to help implement site-wide login policies, where they typically include a subset of the network’s users and a few accounts that are local to a particular workstation. Using pam_localuser.so and pam_wheel.so or pam_listfile.so is an effective way to restrict access to either local users and/or a subset of the network’s users.
This could also be implemented using pam_listfile.so and a very short awk script invoked by cron, but it’s common enough to have been separated out.
