User creation on the fly / Default user

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
 
I was wondering if there is a way that you can create a user on the fly if they dont exist in /etc/passwd, or if that is not possible, can I somehow use a default user (i.e. nobody) if they don't exist in /etc/passwd
 
What I want to do is set up xdm so that normal users see nothing different, but if an account that doesn't exist locally, I would like them to be validated by a remote RADIUS server and then either created locally, or the local uid is set to the uid of as default user
 
For example in /etc/pam.d/xdm, here is what I have so far:
 
auth       optional     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
auth       optional     /lib/security/pam_radius_auth.so
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
account    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
password   required     /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so
password   required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok use_authtok
session    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
session    optional     /lib/security/pam_console.so 
 
 
Any suggestions or comments are appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance,
