NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     login_reject - provide rejected authentication

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     login_reject [-s service] user [class]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The login_reject utility provides the rejection  authentication class.
     The  user name, while required, is ignored.  The class name,
which is optional,
 is also ignored.  The reject  authentication  mechanism is intended
     to  be  used to disallow certain types of logins.  For example, a class entry
 (see login.conf(5)) may contain:

             :auth=krb-or-pwd,kerberos,passwd:
             :auth-ftp=reject:

     which would allow authentication for this class in most situations but
     would reject attempts to authenticate from ftpd(8).
