pam_usertype -- check if the authenticated user is a system or regular account

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION

   pam_usertype.so is designed to succeed or fail authentication based on
   type of the account of the authenticated user. The type of the account is
   decided with help of SYS_UID_MAX settings in /etc/login.defs. One use is
   to select whether to load other modules based on this test.

   The module should be given only one condition as module argument.
   Authentication will succeed only if the condition is met.

OPTIONS

   The following flags are supported:

   use_uid

           Evaluate conditions using the account of the user whose UID the
           application is running under instead of the user being
           authenticated.

   audit

           Log unknown users to the system log.

   Available conditions are:

   issystem

           Succeed if the user is a system user.

   isregular

           Succeed if the user is a regular user.

EXAMPLES

   Skip remaining modules if the user is a system user:

 account sufficient pam_usertype.so issystem
