Hello.

I'm trying to restrict users by time of day with PAM on my Debian Woody machine.

So, I added this to /etc/pam.d/login

login account required pam_time.so

and I added the following to /etc/security/login.conf

login ; tty* & !ttyp* ; !root ; !Al0000-2400

From what I undestand, this should disable access to all users except root 24hrs/7days a week. This isn't what I intend on leaving it at, but just a start to see if it's working or not.

Well it isn't working

No user, including root can login. Why would this be? I also tried changing the line in /etc/pam.d/login to:

account requisite pam_time.so

but that didn't make a difference.

Any ideas as to what's going on? PAM seems fairly complex, so I wouldn't be suprised if I'm missing something.

Thanks,
Justin
