Re: Dynamically creating users if !exist

[Joe Lewis <joe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, though I'd have no clue as to why.  The whole intent of PAM is to 
make the security of a device more easily configurable, and just opening 
the door for users to log in with a new user ID opens a LOT of security 
holes.

If you have programming skills, you can create a module that catches the 
pam_sm_authenticate function, checks for the user, and if not found, 
creates the user and returns success.
