# NAME

`pam_ftpusers` —
ftpusers PAM module

# SYNOPSIS

[service-name] module-type control-flag pam_ftpusers [options]

# DESCRIPTION

The ftpusers service module for PAM provides functionality for only one PAM category: account management. In terms of the module-type parameter, this is the “`account`” feature.

## Ftpusers Account Management Module

The ftpusers account management component (`pam_sm_acct_mgmt`()), succeeds if and only if the user is listed in /etc/ftpusers.

The following options may be passed to the authentication module:

`debug`
  syslog(3) debugging information at `LOG_DEBUG` level.
`no_warn`
  suppress warning messages to the user. These messages include reasons why the user's authentication attempt was declined.
`disallow`
  reverse the semantics; `pam_ftpusers` will succeed if and only if the user is not listed in /etc/ftpusers.

# AUTHORS

The `pam_ftpusers` module and this manual page were developed for the FreeBSD Project by ThinkSec AS and NAI Labs, the Security Research Division of Network Associates, Inc. under DARPA/SPAWAR contract N66001-01-C-8035 (“CBOSS”), as part of the DARPA CHATS research program.

# BUGS

The current version of this module parses an older format of the ftpusers(5) file and should not be used. ftpd(8) will keep using its built-in ftpusers(5) parsing code until the parser code in the pam module is fixed.
