LOGIN_REJECT(8) System Manager's Manual LOGIN_REJECT(8)

login_rejectprovide rejected authentication

login_reject [-s service] user [class]

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).
