Here's an interesting twist to the problem, while we're on the topic: 
how about supporting searching of hostEntitlement as well as POSIX 
groups, in that order?  In my organization, we have many hosts that fall 
into easily definable groups, but sometimes I'd like to give a user 
access to just one host (or a list of individual hosts) rather than 
giving them access to every host listed in a group.  pam_check_host_attr 
works for the former check, and pam_groupdn works for the latter, but 
they cannot be used together.  I don't think pam_filter can be used 
here, since there's no way to substitute the DN being authenticated in 
the search filter.

Any ideas?

Best regards,
Steve
