Hi, which modules do require the calling process to be the superuser, to authenticate /arbitrary/ usernames? I know this to be the case for auth_shadow and suspect that there are quite a few others, e.g. NIS has had a mixed history in this regard. Any information would be most welcome! cheers, -- Dipl.-Inform.
