NAME
       pam_console_apply - set or revoke permissions for users at the system console

SYNOPSIS
       pam_console_apply  [-f  <fstab  file>] [-c <console.perms file>] [-r] [-t <tty>] [-s] [-d]
       [<device file> ...]

DESCRIPTION
       pam_console_apply is a helper executable which sets or resets permissions on device nodes.
       If /var/run/console.lock exists, pam_console_apply will  grant  permissions  to  the  user
       listed  therein.   If  the  lock  file  does not exist, permissions are reset according to
       defaults set in console.perms files, normally configured to set permissions on devices  so
       that root owns them.

       When  initializing  its configuration it first parses the /etc/security/console.perms file
       and then it searches for files ending with the .perms  suffix  in  the  /etc/security/con-
       sole.perms.d  directory.  These files are parsed in the lexical order in "C" locale.  Per-
       mission rules are appended to a global list, console and device class definitions override
       previous definitions of the same class.

ARGUMENTS
       -c     Load other console.perms file than the default one.

       -f     Load other fstab file than the default one (/etc/fstab).

       -r     Signals  pam_console_apply to reset permissions.  The default is to set permissions
              so that the user listed in /var/run/console.lock has access to the devices, and  to
              reset permissions if no such file exists.

       -t     Use <tty> to match console class in console.perms file. The default is tty0.

       -s     Write error messages to the system log instead of stderr.

       -d     Log/display messages useful for debugging.

       The  optional  <device file> arguments constrain what files should be affected by pam_con-
       sole_apply. If they aren't specified permissions are changed on all files specified in the
       console.perms file.

FILES
       /var/run/console.lock
       /etc/security/console.perms
       /etc/security/console.perms.d/50-default.perms
