The problem arises when I want to authenticate a non local-user(pop, tacacs, radius). In this case there is no information about the user into the system repository (etc/passwd or similar)..in fact the user doesn't really exist ;-)...it is just an entry into some external repository (no uid, no euid and so on)!!! the only user is the one with two identity: one local to the sistem running the module (i.e. the user radius if the server runs other than root) and one for the repository connection. a bit confusing, really.....
