Hi I have tried to use pam security to limit access to a computer by certain groups but irrespective what I do, members of the group(s) that are banned always get in also. (I am using a RedHat 6.1 box with pam-0.68-10) For example: I want deny users belonging to the year4 group entry so in /etc/security/access.conf I put the line: -:year4:ALL According to the documentation this should work - it looks up user in the second field, but if no such user is found, it looks up the group. But even if I substitute the group name "year4" with the name of a particular user, that user still gets in! What is happening here? Is the documentation totally irrelevant? Or do I have to restart some process or daemon for pam options to become implemented? Please help!!! The documentation does not seem to bear any resemblance to what is (or is not) happening. Can someone tell me in detail how to include and exclude certain NIS groups, using pam? Any help will be most appreciated.
