Yes. > That doesn't make sense to me, frankly; I think it makes more sense to grant > the *original* group access to the resources on the system. So I'm not I've tried to setup pam_group on some server debian-based i manage. On some of these i need to lend log-watching permission (eg, group ''adm'') to some unrestricted user, possibly without using complex sudo setups (they have to read, not execute something). pam_group works, but i've to list explicitly all users i need, insted of using the LDAP/Samba group they belong to. This is and error-prone task, and i can easily forgot some users in pam_group list... Also... AFAI've understood, pam_group support add local group to nisgroup because as the time was written the NIS technology was the ''leader'' in complex networks setup, lead position now gone. I think that adding network group users to a local group is a perfectly good option, as was for netgroups. > inclined to take this patch before it's been applied upstream. Ok, the best way is: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=6663&atid=106663 or there's a better one? Many thanks. -- dott.
