Have a look at the files in /etc/pam.d/. In login, you'll see these lines
# Uncomment and edit /etc/security/access.conf if you need to
# set access limits.
# (Replaces /etc/login.access file)
# account required pam_access.so
You should check out the other files in there too.

Why would you? Its got very little to do with the kernel, as its a
