Introduction to PAM Library
PAM Library
Project Homepage: The PAM Library package contains Pluggable Authentication Modules. This is useful for enabling the local system administrator to choose how applications authenticate users.
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.

Configuring pam_console
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

Note: The files that come with pam_console need to be added to this list.
