Currently, /etc/security/access.conf is a wild file (not installed by a
package) and has no function (just a copy of
/etc/security/access.conf.sample) with comments only.
/etc/security/access.conf is used by pam_access which is configured for
sshd and most other pam services.
Create a symlink from /etc/security/access.conf to
/etc/local/access.conf, so that we can install a host specific access
file. This is going to be used to restrict access to certain machines to
trusted users. Such a file could, for example, look like this:
+ : ALL : LOCAL
+ : root (admin) : ALL
- : ALL : ALL
to allow remote access to root user and the admin group only.
If the target file doesn't exists, which should be the default case,
pam_access doesn't block the authentication.
