The pam_user.conf Configuration File
Individual users can be assigned different options by listing them in the
user control file /etc/pam_user.conf. For a login-name listed here, the
options listed here replace any options specified for the
module-type / module-path in /etc/pam.conf. See “The pam.conf
Configuration File” on page 845.
The entries in /etc/pam_user.conf have the form:
login-name module-type module-path options
where:
login-name is the user’s login name.
module-type is an module-type specified in /etc/pam.conf.
module-path is a module-path associated with module-type in
/etc/pam.conf.
options is zero or more options recognized by the module.
The default contents of /etc/pam_user.conf are comments:
#
# This file defines PAM configuration for a user. The configuration
# here overrides pam.conf.
#
# The format for each entry is:
# user_name module_type module_path options
#
# For example:
#
# user_a auth /usr/lib/security/libpam_unix.1 debug
# user_a auth /usr/lib/security/libpam_dce.1 try_first_pass
# user_a password /usr/lib/security/libpam_unix.1 debug
#
# user_b auth /usr/lib/security/libpam_unix.1 debug use_psd
# user_b password /usr/lib/security/libpam_unix.1 debug use_psd
