(see
.Sx PATTERNS
below).

.El
.Pp
An example configuration file:
.Bd -literal -offset 8n
[duo]
host = api-deadbeef.duosecurity.com
ikey = SI9F...53RI
skey = 4MjR...Q2NmRiM2Q1Y
pushinfo = yes
autopush = yes

.Pp
Other authentication restrictions may be implemented using 
.Xr pam_listfile 8 ,
.Xr pam_access 8 ,
etc.
.Sh PATTERNS
A
.Em pattern
consists of zero or more non-whitespace characters,
.Sq *
(a wildcard that matches zero or more characters),
or
.Sq ?\&
(a wildcard that matches exactly one character).
.Pp
A 
.Em pattern-list
is a comma-separated list of patterns. Patterns within pattern-lists
may be negated by preceding them with an exclamation mark
.Pq Sq !\& .
For example, to specify Duo authentication for all users (except those
that are also admins), and for guests:
.Pp
.Dl groups = users,!wheel,!*admin guests

.Sh NOTES
When used with OpenSSH's 
.Xr sshd 8 ,
only PAM-based authentication can be protected with this module;
pubkey authentication bypasses PAM entirely. OpenSSH's PAM
integration also does not honor an interactive 
.Xr pam_conv 3
conversation, prohibiting real-time Duo status messages (such as
during voice callback).
