Hi out there, I have a NIS Server serving a Password Database with entries like that: sithglan:##sithglan:31401:30003:Thomas Glanzmann, CIP Admin:/home/cip/adm/sithglan:/local/login/bin/env-csh This NIS Server also serves a map named passwd.adjunct.byname to source ports < 1024. And I have a pam enabled Linux application named xlock. This xlock application is able to do the password authentication for a user but why? Caches Linux PAM allready sucessfully authenticated passwords? Or is there another mechanism? If I try the same thing under Solaris the PAM enabled xlock application needs an root sbit to proceed. Has somebody an idea, how I can get Solaris to the same thing linux does? So that I don't have to put the xlock application setuid root?
