I am trying to implement a system that doesn't require an /etc/passwd, plus Winblows systems can authenticate against the system. The authentication mechanism uses pam_mysql, which is fine and dandy, but that falls back to the /etc/passwd file for things like uid,gid,shell and home. Now, I want the option of putting that information in a database, and working off the database. Is there a method that I would use to set the home directory/shell? I can probably get away with setuid and setgid for the ID's, but am unfamiliar with the other methods (especially since all the examples I find say "the list says I shouldn't do this" and don't provide an example, and the actual developers guide says absolutely nothing about it either).
