.Dt LOGIN.CONF 5
|
|
.Os FreeBSD
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm login.conf
|
|
.Nd login class capability database
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Pa /etc/login.conf ,
|
|
.Pa ~/.login_conf
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm login.conf
|
|
contains various attributes and capabilities of login classes.
|
|
A login class (an optional annotation against each record in the user
|
|
account database,
|
|
.Pa /etc/master.passwd )
|
|
determines session accounting, resource limits and user environment settings.
|
|
It is used by various programs in the system to set up a user's login
|
|
environment and to enforce policy, accounting and administrative restrictions.
|
|
It also provides the means by which users are able to be
|
|
authenticated to the system and the types of authentication available.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A special record "default" in the system user class capability database
|
|
.Pa /etc/login.conf
|
|
is used automatically for any
|
|
non-root user without a valid login class in
|
|
.Pa /etc/master.passwd .
|
|
A user with a uid of 0 without a valid login class will use the record
|
|
"root" if it exists, or "default" if not.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In FreeBSD, users may individually create a file called
|
|
.Pa .login_conf
|
|
in their home directory using the same format, consisting of a single
|
|
entry with a record id of "me".
|
|
If present, this file is used by
|
|
.Xr login 1
|
|
to set user-defined environment settings which override those specified
|
|
in the system login capabilities database.
|
|
Only a subset of login capabilities may be overridden, typically those
|
|
which do not involve authentication, resource limits and accounting.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Records in a class capabilities database consist of a number of
|
|
colon-separated fields.
|
|
The first entry for each record gives one or more names that a record is
|
|
to be known by, each separated by a '|' character.
|
|
The first name is the most common abbreviation.
|
|
The last name given should be a long name that is more descriptive
|
|
of the capability entry, and all others are synonyms.
|
|
All names but the last should be in lower case and contain no blanks;
|
|
the last name may contain upper case characters and blanks for
|
|
readability.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr getcap 3
|
|
for a more in-depth description of the format of a capability database.
|
|
.Sh CAPABILITIES
|
|
Fields within each record in the database follow the
|
|
.Xr getcap 3
|
|
conventions for boolean, type string
|
|
.Ql \&=
|
|
and type numeric
|
|
.Ql \&# ,
|
|
although type numeric is depreciated in favour of the string format and
|
|
either form is accepted for a numeric datum.
|
|
Values fall into the following categories:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "program"
|
|
.It file
|
|
Path name to a data file
|
|
.It program
|
|
Path name to an executable file
|
|
.It list
|
|
A list of values (or pairs of values) separated by commas or spaces
|
|
.It path
|
|
A space or comma separated list of path names, following the usual csh
|
|
conventions (leading tilde with and without username being expanded to
|
|
home directories etc.)
|
|
.It number
|
|
A numeric value, either decimal (default), hexadecimal (with leading 0x),
|
|
or octal (with a leading 0).
|
|
With a numeric type, only one numeric value is allowed.
|
|
Numeric types may also be specified in string format (ie. the capability
|
|
tag being delimited from the value by '=' instead of '#').
|
|
Whichever method is used, then all records in the database must use the
|
|
same method to allow values to be correctly overridden in interpolated
|
|
records.
|
|
.It size
|
|
A number which expresses a size.
|
|
The default interpretation of a value is the number of bytes, but a
|
|
suffix may specify alternate units:
|
|
.Bl -tag -offset indent -compact -width xxxx
|
|
.It b
|
|
explicitly selects 512-byte blocks
|
|
.It k
|
|
selects kilobytes (1024 bytes)
|
|
.It m
|
|
specifies a multiplier of 1 megabyte (1048576 bytes),
|
|
.It g
|
|
specifies units of gigabytes, and
|
|
.It t
|
|
represents terabytes.
|
|
.El
|
|
A size value is a numeric quantity and case of the suffix is not significant.
|
|
Concatenated values are added together.
|
|
.It time
|
|
A period of time, by default in seconds.
|
|
A prefix may specify a different unit:
|
|
.Bl -tag -offset indent -compact -width xxxx
|
|
.It y
|
|
indicates the number of 365 day years,
|
|
.It w
|
|
indicates the number of weeks,
|
|
.It d
|
|
the number of days,
|
|
.It h
|
|
the number of hours,
|
|
.It m
|
|
the number of minutes, and
|
|
.It s
|
|
the number of seconds.
|
|
.El
|
|
Concatenated values are added together.
|
|
For example, 2 hours and 40 minutes may be written either as
|
|
9600s, 160m or 2h40m.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The usual convention to interpolate capability entries using the special
|
|
.Em tc=value
|
|
notation may be used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sh RESOURCE LIMITS
|
|
.Bl -column coredumpsize indent indent
|
|
.Sy Name Type Notes Description
|
|
.It cputime time CPU usage limit.
|
|
.It filesize size Maximum file size limit.
|
|
.It datasize size Maximum data size limit.
|
|
.It stacksize size Maximum stack size limit.
|
|
.It coredumpsize size Maximum coredump size limit.
|
|
.It memoryuse size Maximum of core memory use size limit.
|
|
.It memorylocked size Maximum locked in core memory size limit.
|
|
.It maxproc number Maximum number of processes.
|
|
.It openfiles number Maximum number of open files per process.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
These resource limit entries actually specify both the maximum
|
|
and current limits (see
|
|
.Xr getrlimit 2 ).
|
|
The current (soft) limit is the one normally used, although the user is permitted
|
|
to increase the current limit to the maximum (hard) limit.
|
|
The maximum and current limits may be specified individually by appending a
|
|
-max or -cur to the capability name.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
.Bl -column ignorenologin indent xbinxxusrxbin
|

|
|
The SHELL environment variable will
|
|
contain the shell specified in the password file.
|
|
.It term string Default terminal type if not able to determine from
|
|
other means.
|
|
.It timezone string Default value of $TZ environment variable.
|
|
.It umask number 022 Initial umask. Should always have a leading 0 to
|
|
ensure octal interpretation.
|

.It welcome file /etc/motd File containing welcome message.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sh AUTHENTICATION
|
|
.Bl -column minpasswordlen indent indent
|
|
.Sy Name Type Notes Description
|
|
.It minpasswordlen number 6 The minimum length a local password may be.
|
|
.\" .It approve program Program to approve login.
|
|
.It mixpasswordcase bool true Whether
|

.Xr passwd 1
|
|
will warn the user if an all lower case password is entered.
|
|
.It copyright file File containing additional copyright information

|
.\".It widepasswords bool false Use the wide password format. The wide password
|
|
.\" format allows up to 128 significant characters in the password.
|
|
.It host.allow list List of remote host wildcards from which users in
|
|
the class may access.
|
|
.It host.deny list List of remote host wildcards from which users in
|
|
the class may not access.
|
|
.It times.allow list List of time periods during which
|
|
logins are allowed.
|
|
.It times.deny list List of time periods during which logins are
|
|
disallowed.
|
|
.It ttys.allow list List of ttys and ttygroups which users
|
|
in the class may use for access.
|
|
.It ttys.deny list List of ttys and ttygroups which users
|
|
in the class may not use for access.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
These fields are intended to be used by
|
|
.Xr passwd 1
|
|
and other programs in the login authentication system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Capabilities that set environment variables are scanned for both
|
|
.Ql \&~
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql \&$
|
|
characters, which are substituted for a user's home directory and name
|
|
respectively.
|
|
To pass these characters literally into the environment variable, escape
|
|
the character by preceding it with a backslash '\\'.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Em host.allow
|
|
and
|
|
.Em host.deny
|
|
entries are comma separated lists used for checking remote access to the system,
|
|
and consist of a list of hostnames and/or IP addresses against which remote
|
|
network logins are checked.
|
|
Items in these lists may contain wildcards in the form used by shell programs
|
|
for wildcard matching (See
|
|
.Xr fnmatch 3
|
|
for details on the implementation).
|
|
The check on hosts is made against both the remote system's Internet address
|
|
and hostname (if available).
|
|
If both lists are empty or not specified, then logins from any remote host
|
|
are allowed.
|
|
If host.allow contains one or more hosts, then only remote systems matching
|
|
any of the items in that list are allowed to log in.
|
|
If host.deny contains one or more hosts, then a login from any matching hosts
|
|
will be disallowed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Em times.allow
|
|
and
|
|
.Em times.deny
|
|
entries consist of a comma-separated list of time periods during which the users
|
|
in a class are allowed to be logged in.
|
|
These are expressed as one or more day codes followed by a start and end times
|
|
expressed in 24 hour format, separated by a hyphen or dash.
|
|
For example, MoThSa0200-1300 translates to Monday, Thursday and Saturday between
|
|
the hours of 2 am and 1 p.m..
|
|
If both of these time lists are empty, users in the class are allowed access at
|
|
any time.
|
|
If
|
|
.Em times.allow
|
|
is specified, then logins are only allowed during the periods given.
|
|
If
|
|
.Em times.deny
|
|
is specified, then logins are denied during the periods given, regardless of whether
|
|
one of the periods specified in
|
|
.Em times.allow
|
|
applies.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that
|
|
.Xr login 1
|
|
enforces only that the actual login falls within periods allowed by these entries.
|
|
Further enforcement over the life of a session requires a separate daemon to
|
|
monitor transitions from an allowed period to a non-allowed one.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Em ttys.allow
|
|
and
|
|
.Em ttys.deny
|
|
entries contain a comma-separated list of tty devices (without the /dev/ prefix)
|
|
that a user in a class may use to access the system, and/or a list of ttygroups
|
|
(See
|
|
.Xr getttyent 3
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr ttys 5
|
|
for information on ttygroups).
|
|
If neither entry exists, then the choice of login device used by the user is
|
|
unrestricted.
|
|
If only
|
|
.Em ttys.allow
|
|
is specified, then the user is restricted only to ttys in the given
|
|
group or device list.
|
|
If only
|
|
.Em ttys.deny
|
|
is specified, then the user is prevented from using the specified devices or
|
|
devices in the group.
|
|
If both lists are given and are non-empty, the user is restricted to those
|
|
devices allowed by ttys.allow that are not available by ttys.deny.
|
|
.Sh ACCOUNTING LIMITS

|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
These fields are used by the time accounting system, which regulates,
|
|
controls and records user login access.

|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Em ttys.accounted
|
|
and
|
|
.Em ttys.exempt
|
|
fields operate in a similar manner to
|
|
.Em ttys.allow
|
|
and
|
|
.Em ttys.deny
|
|
as explained
|
|
above.
|
|
Similarly with the
