PAM_TIME(8)                                             Linux-PAM Manual                                             PAM_TIME(8)



NAME
       pam_time - PAM module for time control access

SYNOPSIS
       pam_time.so [debug] [noaudit]

DESCRIPTION
       The pam_time PAM module does not authenticate the user, but instead it restricts access to a system and or specific
       applications at various times of the day and on specific days or over various terminal lines. This module can be
       configured to deny access to (individual) users based on their name, the time of day, the day of week, the service they
       are applying for and their terminal from which they are making their request.

       By default rules for time/port access are taken from config file /etc/security/time.conf.

       If Linux PAM is compiled with audit support the module will report when it denies access.

OPTIONS
       debug
           Some debug information is printed with syslog(3).

       noaudit
           Do not report logins at disallowed time to the audit subsystem.

MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
       Only the account type is provided.

RETURN VALUES
       PAM_SUCCESS
           Access was granted.

           Not all relevant data could be gotten.

       PAM_BUF_ERR
           Memory buffer error.

       PAM_PERM_DENIED
           Access was not granted.

       PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
           The user is not known to the system.
