There MUST NOT be any spaces in the arguments for the module to work.I placed the module at the head of the stack to prevent other PAM modules from being accessed by the locked out users. In order for the user or group lockout to work the username or group name should be available via the getpwnam(3) or getgrnam(3) functions.User comarisions are done using the pw_uid field in the passwd structure. So any user with and id of zero would be locked out in the above example. Group comparisions are done via string compares of the inbound user and the names returned by getgrnam(3).
