Hi murali I have been trying to auth my ppp users with PAM but haven't get good results. Try a lot of options but all of them require users in /etc/passwd. I download a pam_pwdfile and setup things correctly (i thought) but as long as I do a userdel, he can't auth by ppp even if it token is correctly entered to the passwd file handled by pam_pwdfile. I'm very interested in interchange experience with you, see your conf files, etc... Mi concrete goal is auth people without having them in /etc/passwd. thanks in advanced Maykel Moya PS: Sorry my english, i'm from a spanish speaking country
