*** Bug 39904 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
After looking at the source I find that the problem was mine. I invoked the pam module as a module-type 'auth' - since I wanted to authenticate by user and remote_address. If I invoke it as 'account' it works, ie: account required /lib/security/pam_access.so I would like to change the bug to a documentation bug. The overall level of PAM documentation is bad. But in the interim this bug is closed.
