RedHat develops a set of external modules for use with Linux-Pam. This includes the pam_console module which can be used by some programs such as HAL and gnome-volume-manager. The purpose of pam_console is to indicate which user is active at the console and take appropriate actions. It does this by listing active users in the /var/run/console directory and assigning one to the console.lock file.

Non-Multilib

If you would like to build the pam_console module run the following commands:

tar -xf ../pam-redhat-0.99.5-1.tar.bz2 && 
sed -i 's,modules/Makefile,& modules/pam_console/Makefile,' configure.in && 
sed -i 's/SUBDIRS =/& pam_console/' modules/Makefile.am && 
sed -i '/^permsd_DATA/d' modules/pam_console/Makefile.am && 
autoreconf -v

Configure and compile the package:

./configure --libdir=/usr/lib --sbindir=/lib/security \
           --enable-securedir=/lib/security \
           --enable-docdir=/usr/share/doc/Linux-PAM-0.99.6.3 \
           --enable-read-both-confs &&
make

Install the package:

make install &&
chmod -v 4755 /lib/security/unix_chkpwd &&
mv -v /lib/security/pam_tally /sbin &&
mv -v /usr/lib/libpam*.so.0* /lib &&

Confuguring pam_console

You only need to view this section if you built the pam_console module.

The altering of device permissions is unnecessary. In this case, only the console locking actions are needed. Replace one of the pam_console configuration files to achieve this.

cat > /etc/security/console.handlers << "EOF"
# Begin /etc/security/console.handlers
console consoledevs tty[0-9][0-9]* vc/[0-9][0-9]* :[0-9]\.[0-9] :[0-9]
EOF
