NAME
        pam_console_apply - set or revoke permissions for users at
        the system console
 
SYNOPSIS
        pam_console_apply [-r]
 
DESCRIPTION
        pam_console_apply sets or resets permissions on devices in
        the same manner as pam_console.
        If  /var/run/console.lock  exists,  pam_console_apply will
        grant permissions to the user listed therein.  If the lock
        file does not exist, permissions are reset to those listed
        in /etc/security/console.perms, which should be configured
        to set permissions on devices so that root owns them.
 
 ARGUMENTS
        -r     Signals  pam_console_apply  to  reset  permissions.
               The default is to set permissions so that the  user
               listed  in  /var/run/console.lock has access to the
               devices, and to reset permissions if no  such  file
               exists.
 
FILES
        /var/run/console.lock
        /etc/security/console.perms
