Can I use PAM to get a list of groups, a list of users and a list of groups that a particular user is a member of? Looking at the API, it seems all I can do really is login a user. Also, I dont want to have to start a session with a user or autrhenticate them, I just want alist of their groups. What I want to do is use a PAM interface to manage "all" known users and groups. Then I will plug-in various authentication servers to become useful for various systems. In particular I would like to plug-in the winbind module into PAM and automagically get a list of users and gropups from the NT PDC. Then I'd like ot plug-in an LDAP module to get a list of users and groups from LDAP and from Microsoft ADSI (which suppoerts an LDAP interface). Am I dreaming here? Has anyone whos tried to do the same thing had any luck talking straight to a NT PDC using any samba API or talking to a winbind daemon? I am still signing up to this group, could you forward emails to myself too? Mike Papper mike@digitalpipe.net
