Installing the resource manager

In order to use the resource manager, all you need to do is add the
pam_resmgr module to your PAM files, and adjust the access control lists
in /etc/resmgr.conf.

When adding pam_resmgr to "local" login facilities such as XDM,
it makes sense to give all users access to certain resource classes,
e.g. a resource class named "desktop" that includes all devices
a typical desktop user may need. To do so, use the following
line

	session optional pam_resmgr.so grant=desktop

If you want to support X terminals, you may want to limit
access to desktop devices only to the local X session, but
not give any access to remote X terminals. To do so, remove
the "grant=desktop" statement and use the following access control
rule in /etc/resmgr.conf:

	allow desktop tty=:0

You can also add resmgr support to SSH sessions by editing
/etc/pam.d/ssh, and adding the following lines:

	auth    optional pam_resmgr.so
	session optional pam_resmgr.so fake_ttyname

Again, there's probably no point in giving all users logging
in via ssh access to any devices by default. However, it may
be useful to grant specific users access to certains classes
of devices. For instance, the following gives user "kf"
access to the scanner device:

	class scanners
	add /dev/scanner scanners
	allow scanners user=kf
