Shadow

pam_console

If you built Shadow to use ​Linux-PAM and you installed the pam_console module, configure login to use it by adding an optional rule to the session section of /etc/pam.d/login:

...
session     required    pam_limits.so
session     optional    pam_console.so
session     optional    pam_mail.so dir=/var/mail standard
...

If the pam_console module is in use, you will see a /var/run/console/<user> directory and the entry <user> in the /var/run/console/console.lock file where <user> is the logged in user's name.
