Greetings. Apologies if this has been asked before. I've gone through Google and the archives to no avail.
I am seeking to implement a unified authentication mechanism for a small(Less than 50 users) setup. I've been trying to wrap my head around PAM and SAMBA. It almost seems like it can be done, but I can't quite convince myself.
Most of my users are Windows types. I want to provide domain authentication for these users. Using the same auth DB, I want to be able to authenticate some users to a VPN server using RADIUS. All with teh same user/password combo.
I've seen glimmers and hints in various doc I've read that it can be done. Maybe using PAM to force radius to use the smbpass.so module?
Another thought I had was to use MySQL as the backend. But then, I'm not sure that the passwords would be compatible. They're both one-way hashs using different algorithms, right?
I could use LDAP, but it seems like overkill. So is MySQL, really, but I can use the server for other tasks later.
Any thoughts?
Chris...
