pam_geoip - GeoIP account management module for (Linux-)PAM

This PAM module provides GeoIP checking for logins. The user can be allowed

or denied based on the location of the originating IP address. This is

similar to pam_access(8), but uses a GeoIP City or GeoIP Country database

instead of host name / IP matching.

The matching in pam_geoip is done on given country and city names or on

distance from a given location. With a GeoIP Country database only matches

of the originating country are possible.

This PAM module provides the "account" hook only. To use this module, add a

line like (optional parts in square brackets)

  account required pam_geoip.so [system_file=file] [geoip_db=file] \

	[charset=name] [action=name] [debug] [geoip6_db=file] [use_v6=1] \

	[v6_first=1]

to the relevant files in /etc/pam.d/ and configure your

/etc/security/geoip.conf and/or /etc/security/geoip.SERVICE.conf.

Requirements:

Debian (lenny, squeeze, sid [Linux, kFreeBSD]):

  building: libgeoip-dev, libpam0g-dev, perl (pod2man)

  running: libgeoip1, libpam0g, libpam-{modules,runtime}, a GeoIP City

     database, see http://www.maxmind.com/en/city or a GeoIP Country

     database, see http://www.maxmind.com/en/country

  IPv6: libgeoip1 >= 1.4.8, a Geo(Lite) City / Country IPv6 database
