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

# NAME

`login_reject` — provide rejected authentication

# SYNOPSIS

`login_reject` | [`-s` service] user [class]

# DESCRIPTION

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=passwd:
    :auth-ftp=reject:

which would allow password authentication for this class but would reject attempts to authenticate from ftpd(8).
