Login restrictions in NIS environment

[James Cooley]

You can accomplish this by using the pam_access module.  Here's the  
documentation on it:  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/Linux- 
PAM-html/pam-6.html#ss6.1

You can restrict access by user, groups, and computers, and you can  
restrict access by users from certain computers.   The pam module  
uses the /etc/security/access.conf configuration file.
