console.perms - permissions control file for users at the
system console
DESCRIPTION
/etc/security/console.perms determines the permissions
that will be given to priviledged users of the console at
login time, and the permissions to which to revert when
the users log out. It is read by the pam_console module.
The format is:
<class>=space-separated list of words
login-regexp|<login-class> perm dev-glob|<dev-class> \
revert-mode revert-owner[.revert-group]
The revert-mode, revert-owner, and revert-group fields are
optional, and default to 0600, root, and root, respec
tively.
The words in a class definition are evaluated as globs if
they refer to files, but as regular expressions if they
apply to a console definition. Do not mix them.
Any line can be broken and continued on the next line by
using a \ character as the last character on the line.
The login-class class and the login-regexp word are evalu
ated as regular expressions. The dev-class and the dev-
glob word are evaluated as shell-style globs. If a name
given corresponds to a directory, and if it is a mount
point listed in /etc/fstab, the device node associated
with the filesystem mounted at that point will be substi
tuted in its place.
Classes are denoted by being contained in < angle bracket
> characters; a lack of < angle brackets > indicates that
the string is to be taken literally as a login-regexp or a
dev-glob, depending on its input position.
