I understand the time.conf file, the syntax, and how it works. Where my confusion lies is here:
Where do you reference pam_time.so? e.g., I know you can't put it in system-auth...so where does "account required pam_time.so" get placed? In /etc/pam.d/login?
Per pam_time(8), only the account modules is provided - as you noted. I've not used it, but isn't it trivial enough to test your hypothesis (on a test system)?
You can take this advice or leave it (it's mainly just a reflection of my own philosophy when it comes to dealing with RHEL's system-config-* utilities): once you have system-auth configured exactly the way you need it, you might want to:
Code:
# chattr +i /etc/pam.d/system-config
When a utility tries to overwrite it later, it won't be able to.
