[_SEPERMIT.CONF_(5)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/SEPERMIT.CONF/5/markdown)                          Linux-PAM Manual                          [_SEPERMIT.CONF_(5)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/SEPERMIT.CONF/5/markdown)

## NAME
       sepermit.conf - configuration file for the pam_sepermit module

## DESCRIPTION
       The lines of the configuration file have the following syntax:

       _<user>_[:_<option>_:_<option>_...]

       The **user **can be specified in the following manner:

       •   a username

       •   a groupname, with **@group **syntax. This should not be confused with netgroups.

       •   a SELinux user name with **%seuser **syntax.

       The recognized options are:

       exclusive
           Only single login session will be allowed for the user and the user's processes will be
           killed on logout.

       ignore
           The module will never return PAM_SUCCESS status for the user. It will return PAM_IGNORE
           if SELinux is in the enforcing mode, and PAM_AUTH_ERR otherwise. It is useful if you want
           to support passwordless guest users and other confined users with passwords
           simultaneously.

       The lines which start with # character are comments and are ignored.

## EXAMPLES
       These are some example lines which might be specified in /etc/security/sepermit.conf.

           %guest_u:exclusive
           %staff_u:ignore
           %user_u:ignore
