Read the archieves before you post to a list !! We discussed this a few days/weeks ago... (use nss_mysql instead of pam_mysql - or in combination) ________________________________________ \|joe@xxxxxxxxx ha scrit als Sun, 22 Jun 2003 18:37:19 -0600 (MDT): |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). | |Joe blers salüds, _________ Florian Verdet _goto _______________________________________________ Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
