Hi everyone, I'm working on a project where a box is remotely authenticating with PAM against a large user database, and this box acts as a Samba PDC / winbind / authentication server for a local department. I've talked a bit with the Samba list, and I didn't really get anything usefull back from them -- one of the annoying things w/ Samba, is that it *requires* a local /etc/passwd entry when 'security = user'. I can see why this would be a nice sanity check, but this machine does not serve homes, or any other partitions, it will not be a shell box, or anything else... strictly domain authentication with smb encrypted passwords. The master database that I'm authenticating against has around 8000+ users, plus, is dynamically changing. I need a way to on-the-fly add / remove /etc/passwd entries (and not using winbind -- this is a winbind server) So, my main question to everyone is: Is there some sort of pam_adduser that works with the 'auth' management group that will add /etc/passwd entries? Thanks for your help! --Cal Heldenbrand __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Address AutoComplete - You start.
