Hi, I want to set up a database login system using pam. I'm actually going to try writing a module for pgsql (despite the existance of pgsql plugins.) Anywho, I'm just curious how pam handles groups. I wanted to store group information in a pgsql database as well. For example, if I login as a user whose login info is all stored in a database (including group info), when I type "ls" in a shell, how is the information retrieved that associates user ID and group ID with their names? Is all that info retrieved by pam_login? But then what about a user whose login info is not stored in a db? Like root - if I'm logged in as root and am listing files whose uid/gid are stored in a database, how are their names retrieved? What I'm going to eventually have is a system using a combination of unix login (/etc/[passwd,group]) and a postgresql database. Anyone else using combined login storage systems? Thanks! _______________________________________________ Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
