The only way to do this with PAM would be if your PAM module, upon successful authentication, made changes to the configured NSS backend to address the user id mapping. However, this would tend to be very fragile, and if your target application is Samba, you're probably better off using Samba's built-in capabilities for user mapping (i.e., 'force user = <newuser>'). -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
