However, it does have +some legitimate uses. For example, if the system-administrator wishes +to turn off the account management on a workstation, and at the same +time continue to allow logins, then she might use the following +configuration file entry for login: +<tscreen> +<verb> +# +# add this line to your other login entries to disable account +# management, but continue to permit users to log in... +# +login account required pam_permit.so +</verb> +</tscreen> + +</descrip> + +<!-- +End of sgml insert for this module. +--> |
