Is there a way in OpenBSD to authenticate users without adding them to /etc/master.passwd file?
I have an OpenBSD server with authpf enabled and login_ldap configured. I have also a seperate LDAP server. I can authenticate any user in OpenBSD by using this seperate LDAP server if and only if username is added to "/etc/master.passwd" file in OpenBSD machine. Even if it is working, adding/managing over 5000 users to master.passwd file is not suitable. I have already a server (LDAP) for user management. Why openbsd does not support "first look up ldap server for both username and password, then use local password file" ? Ferdi Middle East Technical University Computer Center Tired of spam? Yahoo!
