Hi Guys : I am playing around with LTSP (Linux Terminal Server) and PAM for the first time. I got PAM working to the point that it authenticates a user at a Novell eDir box. HOwever after the authentication it tries to add the user locally (= LTSP server) which is : 1. not needed 2. not working

The user (if not existing) should be created on the fly on the Novell server. My line (1 line no wrap) in pam.d that triggers all this looks like : auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_ncp_auth.so -zA -A -d -l -u2000,4000,pn,gcds ndsserver=LTSPTEST:CC All suggestions much appreciated.
