Hi, I am about to start to hacka a pam module for uninfied password management, which will handle users from a central server but update local passwd and group files. Basicly I want to centralize user management whitout building network dependency for the system. ( like nis if it fails it fails ... ) I will also handle password updates on a client 8 propagation ) , however before I set out on this daunting task, does anybody know of a module which will give me this functionality ? Now I build central user databases, which I upload and then locally mangle passwd and group ! this is done by secure remote login, but I don't think this system safe enough. Any tips from anyone ? or usefull pam modules to spy on ? I have checked out pam-ldap and pam-pwdfile and some other. / best regards, Lars Segerlund.
