I'm not sure it's relevant though as typically RADIUS auth'd accounts are "virtual" ones in that they don't otherwise exist on the system - hence the need to use RADIUS. I'm currently using the FreeRadius pam_radius module to backend Apache authentication (mod_auth_pam) in conjuction with pam_listfile reading a list of IPs reflecting dialled in connections. This provides authentication to the account management web interfaces for my ISPs without requiring any user accounts on the appropriate web servers. It works very well and those this requirement pam_permit does for the account management function very nicely ;) Jason Clifford -- UKFSN.ORG Finance Free Software while you surf the 'net http://www.ukfsn.org/ Sign Up Now _______________________________________________ Pam-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
