Ah. I've never used it either, but thanks to Google I'be developed a keyword-memory (using Google as external-storage memory) which said "pam_console". It appears that the current pam module that does something similar is called pam_devperm: Package: libpam-devperm Version: 1.5-2 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.1-1) Description: PAM module to change device ownership on login This PAM module allows you to change device ownership and permissions when a user logs in. . This is functionally equivalent with SunOS logindevperm(4).
